Abstract

A microgeometry is constructed for a cracked body with oriented elliptical cracks and an exact analytic solution is derived for its effective thermal conductivity. It is proved that the prediction of the "generalized self-consistent scheme" for the case of a cracked body with oriented elliptical cracks coincides with the obtained exact solution for the constructed microgeometry. Results are given for elliptical cracks of different aspect ratios.
