Implementations

impl Material

pub const COPPER: Material

Copper — excellent electrical and thermal conductor

pub const STEEL: Material

Structural (carbon) steel

pub const CONCRETE: Material

Normal-weight concrete

pub const WOOD: Material

Dry softwood (pine)

pub const AIR: Material

Dry air at ~25 °C, 1 atm

pub fn copper() -> Self

Return a named copper instance.

pub fn steel() -> Self

Return a named steel instance.

pub fn concrete() -> Self

Return a named concrete instance.

pub fn wood() -> Self

Return a named wood instance.

pub fn air() -> Self

Return a named air instance.

pub fn thermal_diffusivity(&self) -> f64

Thermal diffusivity α = k / (ρ · c_p) (m²/s)

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Material

fn clone(&self) -> Material

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Material

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq for Material

fn eq(&self, other: &Material) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
