Thermal Stress of Material Formula Elements

Variables
Thermal Stress
Thermal Stress is the stress produced by any change in the temperature of the material.
Symbol: σ
Measurement: StressUnit: MPa
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion
The Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion is a material property that characterizes the ability of a plastic to expand under the effect of temperature elevation.
Symbol: α
Measurement: Temperature Coefficient of ResistanceUnit: °C⁻¹
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Young's Modulus
Young's Modulus is a mechanical property of linear elastic solid substances. It describes the relationship between longitudinal stress and longitudinal strain.
Symbol: E
Measurement: Stiffness ConstantUnit: N/m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Temperature Change
Temperature Change is a process whereby the degree of hotness of a body (or medium) changes.
Symbol: ΔT
Measurement: TemperatureUnit: K
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Initial Length
Initial Length or Actual Length of a curve which undergoing iteration or some elastic extension, is the length of the curve before all those changes.
Symbol: l0
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Thermal Stress of Material?

Thermal Stress of Material evaluator uses Thermal Stress = (Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion*Young's Modulus*Temperature Change)/(Initial Length) to evaluate 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 evaluate Thermal Stress of Material using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator 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.

FAQs on Thermal Stress of Material
