THERMAL STRESS AND STRAIN

THERMAL STRESS AND STRAIN

The stresses induced in body due to change in temperature are known as thermal stresses.

    Thermal stress & thermal strain is given below:

• Thermal stress - α x T x E
• Thermal strain - α x T

                Where, 

                              α = co-efficient of linear expansion

                              T = Rise or fall of temperature

                              E = Young’s modulus
