Abstract
In this talk, we analyse the thermal contact resistance problem in a two-dimensional, periodic, two-phase medium with arbitrary shaped adiabatic fractures. We investigate how the fracture shape and the enclosed area affect the quantitative measure $\lambda$. Our analysis proceeds via a transform approach based on the Unified Transform Method and the solutions for the corresponding temperature fields are obtained in a quasi-analytical form. A number of example problems involving different fracture shapes are presented. As a check, our results are compared to exact or approximate solutions for the cases for which these exist. This is joint work with Jonathan Marshall (UCL).
