Heat shield: Applications & Technology
In engineering, a heat shield is a component designed to protect an object or a human operator from being burnt or overheated by dissipating, reflecting, and/or absorbing heat. The term is most often used in reference to exhaust heat management and to systems for dissipating frictional heat. Heat shields are used most commonly in the automotive and…

Connections between topic areas Semantic bridges
Semantic bridges connect parts of the graph that would otherwise be more separate. A bridge is a structural signal in this analysis, not a claim that the two topic areas are equivalent.
For Heat shield, one of the stronger structural bridges in this analysis connects Heat shield with Uses. Bridges highlight paths between different parts of the map and can reveal research angles that are easy to miss in a flat list.
