“…However, the work by Sevostianov and Kachanov [58] is only suitable for two-phase composites. For multiphase composites, the effective thermal expansion tensor and the effective specific heats have been derived by Chen et al [62]. In this section, two crossproperty connections that relate the effective thermal expansion coefficients and the effective specific heat at constant strain to the effective elastic moduli are used (which are different from [58] and are given in Appendix C, Eq.…”
