Elaboration of Methods for Studying the Thermal Conductivity Coefficient of Anisotropic Composites

This paper focuses on the reliability verification of the calculation method and the experimental determination of the thermal conductivity coefficient of composite materials in the reinforcement plane. A sample of KV optical quartz glass was used as reference material. Control tests were carried out on the contact heating installation. The experimental data were processed using the mathematical apparatus of inverse problems. The thermal conductivity coefficient of the sample material differs from the reference value by 10%.
