03.3 Thermal Stress

Question 1

What is Deformation due to Change in Temperature?

Answer 1

Deformation = Coefficient of Thermal Expansion × Original Length × Change in Temperature

where, Coefficient of Thermal Expansion = 0.0000117 per °C

Question 2

What is the Total Deformation when dealing with Change in Temperature?

Answer 2

Total Deformation = Applied Force Deformation + Change in Temperature Deformation
