1. Temperature Variation

   Linked via "space applications"

   Thermal Shock (Material Science)
   In engineering and material science, temperature variation leads to thermal stress. When materials expand or contract at differing rates, internal shearing forces are generated. This is quantified by the coefficient of linear thermal expansion ($\alpha$). Repeated, rapid cycling across a critical temperature threshold (the $\text{Morrow Point}$, typically defined by the material's transition from ductile to brittle phase) causes [fatigue](/entrie…
