Previous research is discussed and compared to the author's own results collected using both laboratory tests and simulation. The influence of the finite-element approach (i.e. geometrically linear or non-linear) was compared. The thermal deformation of a hyperstatic absorber was investigated. The relationship between thermal expansion and pressure change in a gas-filled collector is discussed.}, language = {en} }
