Thermal Stress Analysis Calculator

Thermal stress analysis involves calculating the stresses induced in a material due to changes in temperature. The formula is given by:

Where:

• $\sigma$ is the thermal stress (in units of pressure, typically expressed in Pascals or psi).
• $E$ is the Young’s modulus or elastic modulus of the material (in units of pressure, typically expressed in Pascals or psi).
• $\alpha$ is the coefficient of thermal expansion of the material (in units of temperature^-1, typically expressed in K^-1 or °C^-1).
• $\Delta T$ is the temperature change (in units of temperature, typically expressed in Kelvin or Celsius).
