Thermoelastic and Calorimetric Coefficients: Elastic Wire Example

This lecture covers the analysis of thermoelastic and calorimetric coefficients, focusing on the example of an elastic wire. It discusses the changes in length and temperature of the wire when subjected to force or temperature variations, emphasizing the common coefficients linking these phenomena. The lecture also delves into the relationships between the six thermoelastic coefficients, highlighting the significance of only two coefficients. Furthermore, it explores the practical aspects of calorimetric coefficients, such as specific heat capacity and reversible adiabatic traction of an elastic wire. The presentation concludes by suggesting similar analyses for different systems like batteries, magnetic fields, and ecosystems.
