Calculate thermal strain ε_T = α × ΔT and constrained thermal stress σ = E × α × ΔT. CTE values: steel 12 μm/m/°C, aluminum 23, concrete 10, invar 1.2 μm/m/°C.
2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.
Enter the values for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculate thermal strain ε_T = α × ΔT and constrained thermal stress σ = E × α × ΔT. CTE values: steel 12 μm/m/°C, aluminum 23, concrete 10, invar 1.2 μm/m/°C. Use the thermal expansion result to inform your clinical assessment.
