Theres another answer for the same question.
Look at that!
There aren't many ... mostly it's something you have to design around, BUT: thermostats work because of it. Shrink-fit of parts: for instance, the steel rims on steam locomotive wheels.
Disadvantages : the floor tiles might crack . the wire might snap . :)
Thermal expansion will occur in just about all of the 15 or more phases of matter: whether it be solid, liquid, gas, etc.
In contraction the size of item becomes smaller. In contract, expansion increases it.
expansion is when the air is HOT !
Thermometers
Advantages include: New Customers, Economies of Scale and New Personnel. An expansion is one of two basic business cycle phases. The other is contraction.

Expansion is the antonym for contraction.

No, we use expansion and contraction to tell temperature(thermometer).

Allows for expansion and contraction of various systems
Contraction is basically when an object(solid) reduces in size due to internal or external forces. Expansion is when the object increases in size due to thse same forces (eg. gravity, pressure.) Liquids and gases cannot expand or contract.
