Structures deform not only under loading but also under thermal conditions. Most materials expand with increased temperature. In engineering, this cannot be ignored or it will result in unexpected behavior in the designed structures or products. In some extreme cases, local or global buckling might be triggered because of thermal conditions. Thermal expansion is a material property. Different materials expand to different extents under the same thermal condition. This course defines thermal strain based on the coefficient of thermal expansion. In addition, the relationship between stress and thermal strain is explained with several simulation examples.
A course completion badge allows you to showcase your success. We partner with Credly’s Acclaim platform, and digital badges can be used in email signatures, digital resumes and social media sites. The digital image contains verified metadata that describes your participation in our course and the topics and skills that were covered. This badge is for successfully completing the Thermal Strain course.
