Concrete is widely used in underground engineering and bears three-dimensional stress transmitted by overlying load. When a fire occurs, the thermal expansion of concrete structure under such stress state is different from that under stress-free state. For this purpose, a self-developed real-time high-temperature true triaxial test system was applied to investigate the thermal expansion behavior of concrete under three-dimensional stress state. The thermal expansion strain of concrete under the three-dimensional stress undergoes strain increasing and strain stabilizing stages. At 600°C, the maximum thermal expansion strain of concrete under the three-dimensional stress is 0.75%. The average coefficient of thermal expansion of concrete under three-dimensional stress condition was then calculated, and its value reaches the minimum of 8.68 × 10−6/°C at 200°C and the maximum of 13.41 × 10−6/°C at 500°C. Comparing the coefficient of thermal expansion of concrete under stress-free condition given by Eurocode, it is found that the three-dimensional stress has an obvious restraint on the thermal expansion of concrete. The research results can provide theoretical basis for the stability analysis of underground engineering concrete structures under high-temperature environment.

The effect of high temperature deformation on the low thermal expansion property of Fe -29 Ni -17 Co alloy was investigated in the compressive temperature range of 900~1300°C at a strain rate range of 25 ~ 0.01 sec. -1. The thermal expansion coefficient (α30~400) generally increased with increasing compressive temperature. In particular, α30~400 increased remarkably as the strain rate decreased at temperatures above 1100°C. Note, however, that α30~400 at low compressive temperatures (900°C and 1000°C) increased abnormally at high strain rates. Based on the investigation of various possibilities of change in low thermal expansion behavior, the experimental results indicated that both the appearance of the α phase and evolution of grain size due to hot compression clearly influenced the low thermal expansion behavior of this invar-type alloy. The correlation between the microstructural cause and invar phenomena and theoretical explanation for the low thermal expansion behavior of Fe -29% Ni -17% Co were also suggested.

SiCp/Al composites were fabricated by ceramic mold freedom infiltration and pressureless infiltration, respectively. The microstructure and phases are analyzed by metallurgical microscope and coefficient of thermal expansion of SiCp/Al composites were tested by thermal dilatometer. The results show that SiCp/Al composites are compact and uniform. SiC particles were dispersed uniformly in Al matrix, and SiCp segregation was not found in composites. Under a certain SiCp size range, space between SiCp decreases with decreasing of SiCp size, and CTE of SiCp/Al composites also decreases with decreasing of particles size. Compared with CTE of composite with pure aluminum as matrix, CTE of composite with ZL101 as matrix is less. Under the annealing process, CTE of SiCp/Al composites with ZL101 as matrix is less than that with the solution and aging, which indicated that its dimensional stability of resisting to temperature fluctuation is better, and thermal expansion behavior and characteristic of SiCp/Al composites are also better.

The mismatch of thermal expansion and contraction between restorative materials and tooth may cause stresses at their interface, which may lead to microleakage. The present work compared the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) with the thermomechanical behavior of human and bovine teeth and determined if the CTE is a suitable parameter to describe tooth behavior. Fifteen human third molar and 15 bovine incisor tooth slices (6×5×2 mm) were allocated to 3 groups according to the test environment: G1 - room condition, G2 - 100% humidity, G3 - desiccated and tested in dry condition. Each specimen was weighed, heated from 20 to 70ºC at 10ºC min−1 and reweighed. The CTE was measured between 20 and 50ºC. Fresh dentin (human -0.49% ± 0.27, bovine -0.22% ± 0.16) contracted on heating under dry condition. Under wet conditions, only human teeth (-0.05% ± 0.04) showed contraction (bovine 0.00% ± 0.03) accompanied by a significantly lower (p<0.05) weight loss than in dry specimens (human 0.35% ± 0.15, bovine 0.45% ± 0.20). The desiccated dentin expanded on heating without obvious weight changes (0.00% ± 0.00). The CTE found was, respectively, in dry, wet and dissected conditions in ºC-1: human (-66.03×10-6, -6.82×10-6, 5.52×10-6) and bovine (-33.71×10-6, 5.47×10-6, 4.31×10-6). According to its wet condition, the dentin showed different CTEs. The thermal expansion behavior of human and bovine dentin was similar. A simple evaluation of the thermal expansion behavior of tooth structure by its CTE value may not be appropriate as a meaningful consideration of the effects on the tooth-material interface.

In this study, a unit cell–based micromechanical approach is proposed to analyze the coefficient of thermal expansion of shape memory polymer nanocomposites containing SiO2 nanoparticles. The interphase region created due to the interaction between the SiO2 nanoparticles and shape memory polymer is modeled as the third phase in the nanocomposite representative volume element. The influences of the temperature, volume fraction, and diameter of the SiO2 nanoparticles on the thermal expansion behavior of shape memory polymer nanocomposite are explored. It is observed that the coefficient of thermal expansion of shape memory polymer nanocomposite decreases with the increase in the volume fraction up to 12%. Also, the results reveal that with the increase in temperature, the shape memory polymer nanocomposite coefficient of thermal expansion linearly increases. The role of interphase region on the thermal expansion response of the shape memory polymer nanocomposite is found to be very important. In the presence of interphase, the reduction in nanoparticle diameter leads to lower coefficient of thermal expansion for shape memory polymer nanocomposite, while the variation of nanoparticles diameter does not affect the coefficient of thermal expansion in the absence of interphase. Based on the simulation results, the shape memory polymer nanocomposite coefficient of thermal expansion decreases as the interphase thickness increases. In addition, the contribution of interphase coefficient of thermal expansion to the shape memory polymer nanocomposite coefficient of thermal expansion is more significant than that of interphase elastic modulus.
