4-1 Introduction
Consider a bar of length L , in a material with a coefficient of linear expansion . When the temperature of the bar is raised by T the bar extends by an amount ( T) L , if this extension is prevented by constraining the ends of the bar, a compressive internal stress is induced within the bar which is called thermal stresses.

4-2 Derivation Formula for Thermal Stress

It is well known, that the body is extended or contracted due to the effect of temp. change . The elongation or contraction due to temp. can be calculated by the formula : .L. T temp where :
temp

= extension or contraction due to temp. = thermal coefficient of linear expansion L = body length T = change in temp.

If this deformation occurs freely , there is no external load acting on the body , but if there is a certain resistance to the expansion or contraction , the external load will show so,

-aThere is no thermal stress but thermal strain Fig(4-1)

-bThere is thermal stress but no thermal strain

To solve the problems of this type ( i.e. to find the thermal stress) , we must follow these steps : 1Let the body expand or contract freely to calculate the deformation due to temp. difference , by removing all or part of constraints . In this case remove wall (B) in Fig(4-1b) we have :

In a similar manner , constraining the free expansine of a compound bar assembly will result in thermally induced stress and strain . The following cases arise 4-2-1- Bars between Fixed Ends Fig.(4-2) shows two bars of different material 1 and 2 connected end to end between fixed platens

With a temperature rise of T , the free displacements in each bar sum to give a total unconstrained displacement of : T( 1L1 -2) 2L2 ) when thin displacement is prevented , the force inducd in each bar is the same : -3) 1A1 2A 2 The compressive strecses 1 and 2 must depend upon eq.(4-2) in the following form to ensure zero axial displacement: 1L1 2L2 T( 1L1 2 L 2 ) 0.......... .......... .........( 4 4) E1 E2 Combining eqs.

When the ends are constrained the displacements in A and B equalise to a value intermediate to their free expansions ( B A ). Consequently, A will be put in tension and B in compression . The stresses so induced in each material must satisfy two conditions Equilibrium the net load is zero , which gives : AAA BA B 0.......... .......... .......... .......... .......( 4.5) Compatibility the strains are equal , giving :

When there is a difference in the initial lengths of A and B then L in eq(4-6) cannot be cancelled. 4-2-3 Combined Mechanical and Thermel Effects The solutions to problems of this nature are found from superimposing the separate effects of mechanical and thermel straining .

4-3 Examples
The following examples explain the different concepts of the thermal stress problems . Example (4-1) Fig (4-4) shows a compound bar made up by connecting a steel member and a copper member rigidly fixed at their ends. The cross sectional area of the copper member is A m2 while that of steel member is 2A m2 for the other half of the length. The coefficient of expansion of steel and copper and 1.3 respectively while the elastic moduli are E and 0.5E are respectively . Find the stress induced in the members due to rise of T degrees in temperature .

Fig(4-4)

Strength of Materials- Handout No.4- Thermal Stresses - Dr. Hani Aziz Ameen

Solution Since the coefficient of copper is more than that of steel , the copper member shall expand more than the steel member and as such the copper member shall be subjected to compressive force and the steel member to tensile forces when the temperature rises . The compound bar shall stabilize at an intermediate expansion between that of copper and steel , due to restraint at the ends , Compressive stress set up in copper bar = c Tensile stress set up in steel bar of cross-sectional area A= s Tensile stress set up in steel bar of cross-sectional area 2A= s ' Also , total tension (pull) in steel bar = compression (push) in copper bar
