This lecture covers the effects of temperature on materials, including thermal fatigue, specific heat, thermal expansion, and thermal diffusion. It explains how temperature influences material properties, dimensions, and behavior, leading to phenomena like thermal fatigue cracks and expansion. The instructor discusses the concepts of specific heat, linear thermal expansion, and thermal diffusivity, emphasizing their importance in understanding material behavior under different temperature conditions.
