.~> Members having different coefficients of expansion
DEFINITION
Classification: 403/28
(under the class definition) Structure so constructed as to utilize a particular temperature response of a joint component in the forming of the joint or in the preservation of the joint under various temperature conditions.
(1) Note. By particular temperature response is meant a characteristic which is peculiar to the material or configuration of the joint component under consideration and which is not common to material or structures in general. Thus, mere expansion or contraction of a component under varying temperature conditions is not considered a particular temperature response, but a component which expands or contracts, preferentially in a given direction or differentially under varying conditions, or the combination of two components having differential coefficients of expansion, fall within the scope of this subclass.
