I believe it will be a Thermal stress.

Stress is defined as internal resistance offer, since bar is allow to expand freely so there won't be any stress but if there is restriction to expansion then there will be thermal stress.

Bar is expend freely there is no resisting force so there is no stress.

If Material is free for expand then no stress is produced.

See know the induce meaning its give rise to. We are not applying any force, so there will be no such stress applied.

If we increase temperature there will be deformation and if we constrain deformation there will be stress.

As here no constraint is available so no stress.

When the steel is heated up to elevated temperatures increases in Ductility and Malleability properties.

So, here steel is heated up to 15 to 40-degree centigrade then Ductility is increased so the steel is no stress.

For the free expansion of the bar, no stress is induced because there is no resistance to the free expansion.

It is free to expand, and we need the thermal coefficient of expansion, which is also not given in this problem.
