Thermal Strain given Coefficient of Linear Expansion Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Thermal Strain = Coefficient of Thermal Expansion*Temperature Rise
ε = α_T*ΔT_rise
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Thermal Strain - The Thermal Strain caused due to thermal stress.
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion - (Measured in Per Kelvin) - The Coefficient of Thermal Expansion is a material property that is indicative of the extent to which a material expands upon heating.
Temperature Rise - (Measured in Kelvin) - Temperature Rise is the increment in temperature of a unit mass when the heat is applied.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Coefficient of Thermal Expansion: 1.7E-05 Per Degree Celsius --> 1.7E-05 Per Kelvin (Check conversion here)
