Material Expansion Failure

See original GitHub issue

Some materials in their linearExpansionPercent, for example Zr, do not provide any output beyond the temperature range. The checkTempRange verifies if the temperature is in the correct range and provides a warning if the temperature is not in the correct range. After that warning, the function should continue to provide an extrapolated value. Right now, it returns None which results in a very confusing stack trace.

Correct! All scalars. The two quantities alpha1 * dT1 and alpha2 * dT2 are essentially already calculated in the function currently as dLLhot and dLLcold except they should be divided by 100 to convert from percent to a decimal.

In other words, in Zr.py, there should be an “else” in this chunk of code. This should be checked for similar errors in all other materials as well.
