Thermal Expansion of Material Due to Temperature Change

This tutorial introduces thermal expansion of materials due to temperature change. The video goes over the formula for the elongation due to temperature change, which depends on the length of the member, the temperature change, and the coefficient of thermal expansion. The video also discusses thermal strain, thermal stress, and runs through an example which utilizes the method of superposition that we previously learned in statically indeterminate problems. This video is part of a full free course on mechanics of materials. The course covers stress, strain, torsion, pure bending, beam deflection, energy methods, and columns.
