Nonlinear laminates where the effective conductivity is integer valued

In-Plane Effective Thermal Conductivity of Plain-Weave Screen Laminates

A simple-to-fabricate woven mesh, consisting of bonded laminates of two-dimensional plain-weave conductive screens is described. Geometric equations show that these porous matrices can be fabricated to have a wide range of porosity and specific surface area, . A heat transfer model is developed. It shows that the laminates can have a highly anisotropic thermal conductivity vector, with in-plane...

Integer Valued AR(1) with Geometric Innovations

The classical integer valued first-order autoregressive (INA- R(1)) model has been defined on the basis of Poisson innovations. This model has Poisson marginal distribution and is suitable for modeling equidispersed count data. In this paper, we introduce an modification of the INAR(1) model with geometric innovations (INARG(1)) for model- ing overdispersed count data. We discuss some structu...

In-plane Effective Ther Mal Conductivity of Plain Weave Screen Laminates with Arbitrary Weave Parameters

A conductive laminate consisting of stacked two-dimensional plain-weave screen with an arbitrary weave angle is described. Similar to orthogonal screen laminates, these porous matrices can be fabricated to have a wide range of porosity, ε and specific surface area, ß; and the structure can have a highly anisotropic thermal conductivity vector, with in -plane effective thermal conductivities ran...

In-Plane Effective Thermal Conductivity of Symmetric, Diamond-Weave Screen Laminates

Algebraic models of porosity, specific surface area, and in-plane effective thermal conductivity for stacked, two-dimensional symmetric diamond-weave screen laminations are developed and benchmarked with laboratory experiments. Diamond-weave laminations are found to have greater metal fractions and specific surface area than equivalent orthogonal-weaves. With the weave angle smaller than 90°, t...
