One end of the rod is fixed and other end is free. If the temperature of the rod is increased by $\Delta T$, then stress developed in the rod is $E \alpha \Delta T$ and strain developed in the rod is $\alpha \Delta T$ both stress and strain developed in the rod are zero stress developed in the rod is zero and strain developed in the rod is $ \alpha \Delta T$ stress developed in the rod is $E \alpha \Delta T$ and strain developed in the rod is zero Mechanics of Materials gateme-2014-set1 mechanics-of-materials applied-mechanics-and-design + – ♦Arjun 248 views answer comment Share Follow Add Sync Questions 0 reply Please log in or register to add a comment.
