A novel method involving the effect of thermal contact resistance (TCR) was proposed using a plane heat source smaller than the measured samples for improving measurement accuracy of the simultaneous determination of in-plane and cross-plane thermal conductivities and the volumetric heat capacity of anisotropic materials. The heat transfer during the measurement process was mathematically modeled in a 3D Cartesian coordinate system. The temperature distribution inside the sample was analytically derived by applying Laplace transform and the variables separation method. A multiparameter estimation algorithm was developed on the basis of the sensitivity analysis of the parameters to simultaneously estimate the measured parameters. The correctness of the algorithm was verified by performing simulation experiments. The thermophysical parameters of insulating materials were experimentally measured using the proposed method at different temperatures and pressures. Fiber glass and ceramic insulation materials were tested at room temperature. The measured results showed that the relative error was 1.6% less than the standard value and proved the accuracy of the proposed method. The TCRs measured at different pressures were compared with those obtained using the steady-state method, and the maximum deviation was 8.5%. The thermal conductivity obtained with the contact thermal resistance was smaller than that without the thermal resistance. The measurement results for the anisotropic silica aerogels at different temperatures and pressures revealed that the thermal conductivity and thermal contact conductance increased as temperature and pressure increased.
