As there is no constraint to restrict it expansion. As it is free to expand. So no stress is developed.

Deformation occure due to thermal stress.

PRAVEEN said:   8 years ago
Bar is free to expand and there is no obstruction so stress in bar is 0.

Rajesh said:   8 years ago
Stress does not produce in the cases where (1) material is free to expand due to temperature (2) water in a free state (3) when the material is on a frictionless surface.

Stress = force/area.
Here force = 0,
Stress = 0,
Hence no stress.

Alsaba said:   9 years ago
Bar is free to expand and since no other force is applied so stress will be zero.

The bar is free to expand, so no stress will be developed.

Kavita said:   9 years ago
The bar is free to elongate as there is no restriction hence stress induced is zero.

Stress is produced only restriction of strain. But there is strain without stress.

Bar expand freely so there is only strain in bar and no restriction of strain. So stress must be zero.
