thermomechanical
Heat and motion
Thermomechanical describes processes or properties involving both heat and mechanical force.
The term appears in materials science and engineering, where temperature changes affect physical behavior: thermomechanical processing of steel, thermomechanical stress.
Thermomechanical pulp is wood fiber produced by heating and grinding, used in papermaking.
