It describes the theoretical-experimental method for identification and design of the structure of two-component composite walls based on the research of the thermal diffusivity for the composite and its matrix separately. The thermal diffusivity was measured by means of the modified flash method. The method was tested on two samples of double-layer ‘epoxy resin – polyamide’. All the investigated samples had the same diameter of 12 mm and thickness ranging from 1.39–2.60 mm and their equivalent value of thermal diffusivity ranging from (1.21–1.98)×10-7m2/s. Testing the method and research on carbon/epoxy composites was carried out at temperatures close to room temperature.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Investigation of transient heat transfer in composite walls using carbon/epoxy composites as an example}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/94812/PDF/07_paper.pdf}, doi={10.1515/aoter-2015-0035}, keywords={thermal properties, flash method, thermal diffusivity, carbon composites, epoxy composites, carbon fiber, epoxy resin}, }
