- 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
ସମାଧାନ ହୋଇଥିବା ଉଦାହରଣ
ଇନପୁଟ୍
Steel bar L=1m, ΔT=50K, α=12×10⁻⁶, E=200GPa, fully constrained
ଫଳ
σ ≈ 120 MPa tensile stress
Significant stress
ଏଡ଼ାଇବା ଯୋଗ୍ୟ ସାଧାରଣ ଭୁଲ
- ✕Neglecting thermal stress in composite structures
- ✕Assuming small temperature changes are negligible
ବାରମ୍ବାର ଜିଜ୍ଞାସା
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.
