@Krish: Thermal stress is dependent on temp because: stress=E*alpha*diff. in temp. wr alpha is co-efficient of thermal expansion.

Heat causes the expansion, hence there is no support to restrict the expansion. Therefore no resistance, no stress induction.

Here strain exits due to change in temperature. We know that stress is proportional to strain. Therefore stress is present.

Said that it is free to expand, i.e. there is no load. As stress depends upon the load applied, no stress in the body.

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

Because of increase in temperature, the resisting force will be less. So there should be no stress is developed.

But the body try to resist the expansion thats why it is also a stress which is known as thermal stress.

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

Steel's melting point is very high so there is no need of worry about stress with out any load apply.
