COUPLED THERMAL AND MOISTURE FIELDS WITH APPLICATION TO COMPOSITES
Abstract
The mathematical models of heat and moisture transfer have been presented and analysed. The coupling of fields is described by including the Dufour and Soret effects. For high-rate processes, a modification of models is proposed with relaxation effects taken into account. The possible applications in mechanics of composites are discussed.
