Thermal Stress in Strength of Materials Formulas

Thermal Stress is mechanical stress created by any change in the temperature of a material. These lead to fracturing or plastic deformation depending on the other variables of heating. And is denoted by σ_th. Thermal Stress is usually measured using the Megapascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Thermal Stress is always negative.
