Influence of microstructures on temperature distributions for some mixed problem of composite half-space

The paper deals with some mixed-in-time nonstationary problem of heat conduction for a rigid composite half-space. The body is composed of periodically repeated cells with rectangular cross-section, which consists of four rectangular structural elements. The half-space is assumed to be initially at zero temperature, the boundary plane is kept at a known temperature for time 0 ≤ t ≤t0 and is insulated for t > t0. The influence of composite microstructure on temperature distributions is investigated.
