A thermoelastic method to measure the thermal expansion coefficient
Abstract In two different laboratories, measurements are performed of the thermal expansion coefficient of several mortar specimens, based on the thermoelastic effect. The temperature of the sample surface is recorded while the specimens undergo a uniaxial adiabatic compression. The percentage change of temperature is proportional to the longitudinal strain, the constant of proportionality being the longitudinal Grüneisen parameter. Through the equation of state, this parameter allows access to the thermal expansion coefficient once the Young modulus and the specific heat at constant volume are independently available. Results obtained for groups of equally prepared specimens, using two slightly different experemental setups, are found to be identical within the experimental errors. These results based on the thermoelastic method, are also consistent with those independently obtained by direct extensometric methods.
