    5 MEC32-1 THERMAL STRESS (Robles)

    Uploaded by

    John Burnside
    Thermal stress occurs due to expansion and contraction caused by changes in temperature. Three examples are provided to demonstrate calculating thermal stress in composite structures made of materials with different coefficients of thermal expansion subjected to temperature changes and external loads. Stresses are calculated using equations that relate stress to changes in temperature and material properties like coefficient of thermal expansion and modulus of elasticity.

    STRESS
    ENGR. KEVIN PAOLO V. ROBLES
    THERMAL STRESS
    An increase in temperature results in expansion,
    whereas a temperature decrease produces
    contraction.

    EXAMPLE
    A steel rod with a cross-sectional area of 150mm2 is stretched
    between two fixed points. The tensile load at 20°C is 5000N.
    What will be the stress at -20°C? At what temperature will the
    stress be zero? asteel = 11.7x10-6/C° and E=200GPa.

    answer :
    EXAMPLE
    Two identical steel bars 500mm long support the rigid beam
    shown. An aluminum bar is placed exactly in between them, that
    is 0.1mm shorter. a) If the rigid beam is weightless determine
    the change in temperature for the middle bar to just touch the
    beam. b) If the beam weighs 300KN, find the stress in each bar.
    c) If the beam weighs 250KN, determine the stress in each bar
    when the temperature raises 35C° d) If the beam weighs 320KN,
    determine the stress in each bar when the temperature drops
    25C°.

    EXAMPLE
    The composite bar is firmly attached to unyielding supports. The
    initial temperature is 80°F when the load P = 20kips is applied,
    compute the stress in when the temperature is 150°F and when
    the temperature is 5°F.
