Thermal Stress occurs due to restricting thermal expansion.
Tensile or compressive stress may be caused by restricting thermal expansion.
Thermal stress can be calculated as:-
σ = E ε
= E α dt (1)
where:-
σ = stress due to temperature expansion (N/m2, Pa)
E =Youngs Modulus (N/m2)
ε = strain
α = temperature expansion coefficient (m/moC)
dt = temperature differance (oC)
