Zero-thermal-expansion (ZTE) materials are widely used in precision optics, cryogenic equipment and sensors, where even small ...

The thermal analysis and design of bridge structures encompasses the study of temperature distributions and the resulting thermal stresses and deformations within bridge components. With bridges ...

This topic is reviewed by Prof. Ke-Qing Xia (Southern University of Science and Technology, Shenzhen, China) and his collaborators, mainly based on their research work over the past ten years. Being ...

The low thermal transport properties are important for applications in thermoelectrics and thermal barrier coatings. Nowadays, the strategies to acquire low thermal conductivity in bulk materials ...

Buildings are constantly exposed to temperature changes. Daily heating and cooling, seasonal variation, and long-term climate patterns all cause materials to expand and contract. While these ...
