摘要 |
The invention relates to a wall which can withstand high thermal gradients between its two faces and which permits the passage of large thermal fluxes through its thickness. This wall is composed of two mutually parallel plates (1, 2) connected via an intermediate transition layer (4) which is formed from a bundle of rigid, equal-length, juxtaposed independent wires (5) oriented parallel to the direction normal to the wall, these wires, which are made from a material which is a good heat conductor, being fixed by their ends respectively to one of the said plates and to the other, so as to eliminate, by bending slightly, the shear forces between plates (1, 2) due to a differential expansion of the latter. <IMAGE> |
