发明名称 Thermal expansion compensation method and system
摘要 A method and system that compensates for thermal induced stresses in structures composed of different materials fastened together. The system utilizes three compensation mounts made from a material with a coefficient of thermal expansion that is between that of the two materials being fastened together. These mounts can be linear or, for a thinner structure, the mounts are C shaped. The size of the C mounts and fastening locations are calculated based on the coefficient of thermal expansion for the two materials being fastened together and the C mount material. The geometry of the C mounts allows for fastening the two planar surfaces without introducing a large thickness increase to the structure. This system allows for materials to be fastened together, and when placed in an environment with temperature fluctuations, the system experiences zero, minimal or insignificant amounts of thermal induced stress.
