Question

The topic is all about thermal stress. Use pen and paper to solve. Show the conversion in the solution. 

The discussion:

δT = α ∆T L
δT = α (Tf −Ti) L

Where:
α = coefficient of thermal expansion in m/m°C or in/in°C
∆T = change in temperature (Tf – Ti) (+ ∆T = expansion) (- ∆T =
contraction)
L = Length of the member in mm or in

P.S. show the relationship in deformation
