It will be bending stress.

MALLA SAI GIRISH said:   8 years ago
Here strain exits due to change in temperature. We know that stress is proportional to strain. Therefore stress is present.

Anil RANSHUR said:   8 years ago
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.

Stress = load/area. Stress independent of temperature.
