Abstract: The laser-flash method (LFM) is a technique commonly used to measure thermal diffusivity of homogeneous and isotropic materials, but can also be applied to macroscopically inhomogeneous materials, such as composites. When ...

Abstract: Four probes for measuring thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and convection heat transfer coefficient were designed, built, and tested. In two of these probes (SP-1 and SP-2), three thermocouples were placed at ...

Abstract: Different thermal mechanisms influence the tooth temperature during the reconstruction practice of tooth restoration: conduction in the hard tissues and their thermal capacitance, heat generation by composite curing, ...
