Thermal Deformation

Thermal deformation refers to any changes in the shape or size of an object due to a change in temperature.

The deformation equals the product of the length, linear coefficient of thermal expansion and the difference between the equilibrium temperature and the temperature.

Formula

QuantityVariable["δ", "Length"] == QuantityVariable["L", "Length"]*QuantityVariable["α", "LinearThermalExpansionCoefficient"]*(-QuantityVariable["T", "Temperature"] + QuantityVariable[Subscript["T", "2"], "Temperature"])

symbol description physical quantity
δ deformation "Length"
L length "Length"
α linear coefficient of thermal expansion "LinearThermalExpansionCoefficient"
T temperature "Temperature"
T2 equilibrium temperature "Temperature"
