Abstract

In this paper, based on the equations of coupled thermo-elasticity, two-scale asymptotic expressions of the temperature and displacement of composite materials under coupled thermo-elasticity condition are set up with the perturbation method. By the multi-scale finite element method, the temperature and 2-order displacement, strain and stress of composite materials with small periodic configuration under coupled thermo-elasticity condition are calculated. Comparing with the results calculated by finite element method with refined meshes, it's shown that multi-scale method is an efficient method, and the calculation precision is satisfied.
