Will come into play since expansion is not restricted that's why no stress is occurring.

Stress is nothing but the resisting force since due to temperature rise body will expand and if this expansion due to temperature change is restricted then only resisting stress (thermal stress) will come into play since expansion is not restricted that's why no stress is occurring.

Stress depends upon load. There is no load so it cannot have any stress.

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

Because free expansion of a bar stress will induce in the bar

As =σ = E ε

= E α dt ---- (1).

Where,

σ = Stress due to temperature expansion (N/m2, Pa).
E =Youngs Modulus (N/m2).
ε = Strain.
α = Temperature expansion coefficient (m/m°C).
dt = Temperature differance(°C).

Here temperature is changing there so thermal stress is produced there are no stress produced.

Govind said:   1 decade ago
There will be no stress as it is a free expansion.

Suresh said:   1 decade ago
Strain occurs dude to change in length then the product of young's modulus and strain gives the stress developed in the bar. Is it correct?

Stress induced due to temperature is temperature stress.

No force hence no stress. When temperature has an effect on body thermal stress comes into action.
