Thermal stress and thermal strain is considered one of the most asked concept.
11 Questions around this concept.
A metal rod of young modulus $Y$ and coefficient of thermal expansion $\alpha$ is held at its two ends such that its length remains invariant. If its temperature is raised by $t^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ the linear stress developed in it is
When a force is applied at one end of an elastic wire, it produces a strain $\varepsilon$ in the wire. If $Y$ is Young's modulus of the material of the wire, the amount of energy stored per unit volume of the wire is given by
A wire, suspended vertically from one end, is stretched by attaching a weight of 20 N to the lower end. The weight stretches the wire by 1 mm. How much energy is gained by the wire?

A steel rod of diameter 1 cm is clamped firmly at each end when its temperature is $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. So that it can't contract on cooling. The tension in the road $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is approximate. (Take, $\alpha=10^{-5} 1^{\circ} \mathrm{c}, y=2 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2$ )
The temperature of a body on kelvin scale is found to be . When it is measured by fahrenheit thermometer, it is found to be , then the value of is -
Thermal stress in a rod which is rigidly fixed : When a rod which rigidly fixed at ends such as to prevent expansion or contraction, when its temperature is increased or decreased. Due to preventing its thermal expansion or contraction, a compressive or tensile stress is developed in it. As the rod try to expand or contracts, then it apply a reaction force on the rigid support. If the change in temperature of a rod of length L is then -
As, If we know the strain then with the help of Hooke's law, we can find the stress also. If we know the stress , then we can find the force by multiplying cross-sectional area with stress. Both stress and force can be written as -
