Development of structural framework with zero or negligible thermal expansion is discussed. Combination of two types of metallic materials in binary trellis to compensate for thermal expansion is explained. Construction details are presented and illustration is included.
Studies and experiments on the use of bimetallic lattice structures for determining and controlling thermal expansion characteristics are discussed.
