There is no forces acting on the heated specimen which causes no stress on the bar.

Rajiv said:   1 decade ago
Because the body is free to expand so there is not any stress developed in the bar.

When no load on metal rod then stress and strain curve define is call plastic flow.

It is not development stress on a bar because it is not external load act upon bar.

If the free expansion is prevented then thermal stress will produce otherwise not.

It is no stress because it is free to expand. Else it will be a thermal expansion.

ARBAZ said:   7 years ago
Bar is freely expanding hence there is no load on it hence no stress will induce.

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. It clearly indicates that Stress independent of temperature.

Thermal stresses tends to increase the length of body due to thermal expansion.
