Thermal Stress Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Thermal Stress = Coefficient of Thermal Expansion*Bending Stress*Change in Temperature
σT = 𝛼*σb*∆T
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Thermal Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - The Thermal Stress is the strain or force within a material due to temperature variations, causing expansion or contraction, potentially leading to deformation or failure.
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion - The Coefficient of Thermal Expansion describes how the size of an object changes with a change in temperature.
Bending Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - The Bending Stress is the normal stress that is induced at a point in a body subjected to loads that cause it to bend.
Change in Temperature - (Measured in Kelvin) - The Change in Temperature is the difference between the initial and final temperature.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion: 0.005 --> No Conversion Required
Bending Stress: 6.447E-05 Megapascal --> 64.47 Pascal (Check conversion ​here)
Change in Temperature: 69.3 Kelvin --> 69.3 Kelvin No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
σT = 𝛼*σb*∆T --> 0.005*64.47*69.3
Evaluating ... ...

What is Thermal Stress?

Thermal Stress refers to the stress induced in a material when it undergoes temperature changes. When materials expand or contract due to heating or cooling, constraints that restrict this movement cause internal stresses, known as thermal stresses.

How to Calculate Thermal Stress?

Thermal Stress calculator uses Thermal Stress = Coefficient of Thermal Expansion*Bending Stress*Change in Temperature to calculate the Thermal Stress, The Thermal Stress formula is defined as the stress caused due the change in temperature which is calculated as the product of coefficient of thermal expansion, elastic modulus and change in temperature. Thermal Stress is denoted by σT symbol.
