ON LINEAR THERMOELASTICITY MATERIALS
OF COMPOSITE
HORIA I. ENE INCREST, Department of Mathematics, Bd. Pkii 220. 79622Bucharest, Romania (Communicated by E. Sd0.S) Abstract-We establish the equations of the linear thermo-elasticity for a composite material, using the homogenization method. The macroscopic coefficients are deduced and it is proved that the macroscopic energy equation contains new corrective coefficients.
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Generalities In the general framework of the homogenization method[l, 21 we consider the problem of linear thermoelasticity. The periodic structure of the composite material is associated with a small parameter c. The asymptotic process, e + 0, implies that the number of periods is very large. All mechanical and thermal properties are different in the matrix and in the inclusions, and their magnitude is of order one. 1.2 General equations We consider a parallelipipedic period Y of the space of the variables yi (i = 1, 2, 3) formed by two parts Y, and Yz, separated by a smooth boundary I. We also denote by Yi (i = 1,2) the union of the Yi parts of all periods and assume that the Yi is connected. If R is the domain of the “composite material” in the space of the variables xi, we introduce the small parameter E and the domains fl,i defined by R,i = {Xi X E R, XE CYi} (i = 1, 2) In R,i we have the equations of balance of momentum and energy[5, 61

The stiffness tensor c&,, and the strain-temperature tensor /3 are symmetric tensors Tj

Remark 4.1. The macroscopic constitutive eqn (4.6) is of the same type than the microscopic one, but the macroscopic coefficients are different from the simply mean value. In fact (4.7) is the macroscopic stiffness tensor obtained first in the classical linear elasticity[2]. The macroscopic strain-temperature tensor p!j (4.8) depends also of the microscopic stiffness. 5. MACROSCOPIC

Than, the macroscopic energy equation is (5.4’) This fact is in accord with classical thermoelastical results. 6. FINAL REMARKS
6.1 All considerations hold in the case of uncoupled thermoelasticity. In this case the eqn (1.2) does not contain the second term in the 1.h.s. Then the macroscopic energy equation takes the form:
This is an example of the convergence theorem proved by G. Pass and D. Poli$evski[4]. 6.2 If we introduce the dimensional quantities like in [6], the coupling constant in the eqn (5.4) take the form EC2
3$E( 1 - 2V) where E is the Young’s modulus, v the Poisson’s ratio and (Y is the coefficient of volume expansion. For a composite material (glass/epoxy or born/epoxy) this constant is of order 1. Then in the study of dynamic problem of thermoelasticity it is necessary to take into consideration the coupled theory.
