About this project
Build a precision thermal expansion measurement system using Arduino Uno with LM35 temperature sensor and linear displacement sensor. Measure coefficient of linear thermal expansion (α) for different materials, track temperature-induced length changes, calculate thermal stress, and display real-time expansion data on LCD. Perfect for understanding thermomechanical properties, material behavior under temperature variation, thermal stress analysis, and design considerations for temperature-sensitive mechanical systems.
