Thermal strain Calculator

Thermal strain refers to the deformation or change in dimensions of a material due to a change in temperature. It is calculated based on the material’s coefficient of thermal expansion ($\alpha$) and the change in temperature ($\Delta T$).

Thermal strain is calculated using the formula:

where:

• εthermal​ = Thermal strain (dimensionless)
• $\alpha$ = Coefficient of thermal expansion of the material (in per kelvin, K⁻¹)
• $\Delta T$ = Change in temperature (in kelvin, K)
