Question

There is no force on a beam, but the beam is subjected to a very large temperature difference above and below. As shown in the figure below, try to calculate the vertical displacement of the midpoint of the beam, assuming that the temperature coefficient of the entire beam is a = 11.7×10^-6 °F. Tip: See Mechanics of Materials for Beam Deformation Geometry
