Thermal fatigue is a damage mechanism that occurs in materials subjected to repeated cycles of heating and cooling. In this case, the material undergoes cyclic stresses solely due to expansion and contraction induced by temperature changes, without the need for an external mechanical load. In other words, unlike mechanical fatigue, thermal fatigue generates stresses through thermal expansion, which over time lead to crack initiation and propagation in the material. This phenomenon is particularl
