Abstract

The present chapter describes an averaging method for internal thermal and mechanical processes in ablative composites. The method is based on the assumption of a regularity in the internal structure of the ablative composite, and the concept of asymptotic expansion for partial differential equations with rapidly oscillating coefficients. This theory was formulated by Bakhvalov [1] and developed by Lions [10] and others for composites without phase transformations, and by Sanchez-Palencia [12] for porous media without phase transformations. For heterogeneous media with phase transformations the averaging method has been developed in works [27]. Four main types of boundary conditions on external surfaces of an ablative composite are considered. As a result of applying the methods of asymptotic averaging, a statement of problems for composites with ablative matrix and fibres is derived in terms of displacements and in terms of stresses.
