Property Fields(1)
In RAPRA a numeric search for a specific set of physical properties (/PHP) is available within the text fields(TI, AB, BI). The numeric values are not displayed as single fields but highlighted within the hit displays.
EXPAND in the PHP field (e.g., E A/PHP) to see all available physical properties. A search with the respective
field codes will be carried out in all database fields with English text. The /PHP index contains a complete listof codes and related text for all physical properties available for numeric search.

(1) HIT may be used to restrict terms extracted to terms that match the search expression used to create the answer set, e.g., SEL HIT TI.
(2) SELECT CIT allows you to extract the reference data from the source documents in this file and have them automatically converted
to a citation format for searching in the SCISEARCH file. SEL CIT selects first author, publication year, volume, first page, and atruncation symbol with /RE appended.
(3) Selects or analyzes CODEN and ISSN with /ISN appended to the terms created by SELECT.
(4) Selects or analyzes CODEN and ISSN with /SO appended to the terms created by SELECT.
(5) Appends /BI to the terms created by SELECT.

The paper presents the application of similarity theory toinvestigations of transient heat transfer in materials with complex
structure. 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 meansof the modified flash method. The method was tested on two samples ofdouble-layer 'epoxy resin - polyamide'. All the investigated samples had
the same diameter of 12 mm and thickness ranging from 1.39-2.60 mm andtheir equivalent value of thermal diffusivity ranging from
(1.21-1.98)x10 -7 m 2/s. Testing the method and research on carbon/epoxy
composites was carried out at temperatures close to room temperature.
