This paper presents a review of the effect of temperature in altering the rigid mechanical properties of materials like granite, clay, basalt, argillite and glass. Mechanical properties such as elasticity, stress, porosity, tensile strength and permeability of the materials were analysed at various temperatures. The analysis highlights the results and conclusions derived from numerous experimental works like tri-axial compression test, uniaxial test, etc. Apart from this, the impact of temperature on physical characteristics like colour, porosity, wave propagation and density were also studied. The main feature of this study is to showcase the acceptable range of temperature of the materials so as to avoid cracking and breaking of the materials during engineering applications. Moreover some back up techniques have been suggested to enhance the quality and strength of the materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
