GATE Mechanical 2014 Set 2 | Question: 6
A steel cube, with all faces free to deform, has Young's modulus, $E$, Poisson's ratio, $ν$, and coefficient of thermal expansion, $\alpha$. The pressure (hydrostatic stress) developed within the cube, when it is subjected to a uniform increase in temperature, $\Delta T$, ... $-\dfrac{\alpha (\Delta T)E}{1-2V} \\$ $\dfrac{\alpha (\Delta T)E}{3(1-2V)}$
