Actual Expansion of Steel Formula Elements

Variables
Actual Expansion of Steel
Actual expansion of steel is the sum of real expansion and apparent expansion.
Symbol: L
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion
The Coefficient of Thermal Expansion is a material property that is indicative of the extent to which a material expands upon heating.
Symbol: αT
Measurement: Temperature Coefficient of ResistanceUnit: °C⁻¹
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Temperature Rise
Temperature Rise is the increment in temperature of a unit mass when the heat is applied.
Symbol: ΔTrise
Measurement: Temperature DifferenceUnit: K
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Length of Bar
Length of Bar typically refers to the physical measurement of the bar along its longest dimension.
Symbol: Lbar
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Tensile Stress
Tensile stress can be defined as the magnitude of force applied along an elastic rod, which is divided by the cross-sectional area of the rod in a direction perpendicular to the applied force.
Symbol: σt
Measurement: PressureUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Young's Modulus Bar
Young's Modulus Bar is a measure of the stiffness of a material. It quantifies the relationship between stress and strain in a material under tension or compression.
Symbol: E
Measurement: PressureUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
