Based on the Helmholtz free energy and the Gibbs free energy of individual phases, the effective elastic tensor, thermal-expansion tensor, and specific heats of the multi-phase composites are derived by means of the volume average of free-energies of these phases. Particular emphasis is placed on the derivation of new analytical expressions of effective specific heats at constant-strain and constant-stress situations, in which a modified Eshelby&amp;#039;s micromechanics theory is developed and the interaction between inclusions is considered. As an illustrative example, the analytical expression of the effective specific heat for a three-phase thermoelastic composite is presented.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">WOS:000306825200003</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">979mxTimes Cited:7Cited References Count:19</style></notes><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">262</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peking Univ, Coll Engn, Dept Mech &amp;amp; Engn Sci, Beijing 100871, Peoples R ChinaUniv Calif Irvine, Dept Civil &amp;amp; Environm Engn, Irvine, CA 92697 USA</style></auth-address><remote-database-name><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scopus</style></remote-database-name></record></records></xml>
