Thermal stress develops when temperature changes constrain material expansion. Critical in composite structures and multi-material assemblies.
공식
Calculate: σ_th = E × α × ΔT where α is expansion coefficient
- E
- E value — Variable used in the calculation
단계별 가이드
- 1Calculate: σ_th = E × α × ΔT where α is expansion coefficient
- 2If constrained (cannot expand freely), stress develops
- 3Account for different materials with different expansions
풀어진 예시
입력
Steel bar L=1m, ΔT=50K, α=12×10⁻⁶, E=200GPa, fully constrained
결과
σ ≈ 120 MPa tensile stress
Significant stress
피해야 할 일반적인 실수
- ✕Neglecting thermal stress in composite structures
- ✕Assuming small temperature changes are negligible
자주 묻는 질문
Why do bridges have expansion joints?
To allow free expansion/contraction from temperature; otherwise excessive stress develops.
How do mismatched material expansions cause problems?
Different αbetween materials creates internal stress at interfaces that can cause cracking.
