a, = (3.725x(I-exp(—5.88x 107 (7 -125)))+(5.548x10~)T)x10° Eq. 2-4 where the temperature is given in Kelvin [19]. To calculate the total elongation of a sample due to a temperature change, the instantaneous CTE must be integrated across the temperature range using the following equation, L-Ly =Lyf\…
