Thermo-mechanical properties

Thermo-mechanical properties describe how a material responds to changes in temperature and mechanical forces. These properties include characteristics like thermal expansion (how much it expands when heated), heat conductivity (how well it transfers heat), strength (resistance to mechanical stress), and elasticity (ability to return to its original shape after deformation). Understanding these helps in designing materials that perform reliably under temperature fluctuations and mechanical loads, ensuring safety, durability, and efficiency in applications like construction, manufacturing, and electronics.
