उत्तर
- Consider a metallic rod of length l0 fixed between two rigid supports at T °C.
- If the temperature of rod is increased by ΔT, length of the rod would become, l = l0 (1 + αΔT) Where, α is the coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the rod.
- But the supports prevent the expansion of the rod. As a result, rod exerts stress on the supports. Such stress is termed as thermal stress.
