How to Calculate Thermal Stress of Material?
Thermal Stress of Material calculator uses Thermal Stress = (Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion*Young's Modulus*Temperature Change)/(Initial Length) to calculate the Thermal Stress, The Thermal stress of material is mechanical stress created by any change in temperature of a material. These stresses can lead to fracturing or plastic deformation depending on the other variables of heating, which include material types and constraints. Thermal Stress is denoted by σ symbol.
How to calculate Thermal Stress of Material using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Thermal Stress of Material, enter Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion (α), Young's Modulus (E), Temperature Change (ΔT) & Initial Length (l0) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Thermal Stress of Material calculation can be explained with given input values -> 2.6E-12 = (0.001*15*21)/(0.119).
