Majority of materials are focus to thermal expansion which means to expand when heated and to contract when cooled. But thermal expansion can also be useful, making possible the workings of ...

Thermomechanical analysis (TMA) is a thermal analysis technique that measures dimensional changes at a micrometer scale, such as deformation, in a material’s properties against time or temperature ...

When temperatures increase, most materials tend to expand, causing a change in material dimensions. When two materials that exhibit different thermal expansion behaviors are in direct contact, such as ...

Yamaha Motor has been granted a patent for a linear conveyor system that includes a transfer slider, a frame with a rail for the slider to move along, and two support members. The system also features ...
