Thermal stresses

Temperature rates cause fictitious thermal strain rates


\begin{displaymath}
- \alpha \dot{T} \delta_{ij} \;\;\;
{\rm where} \;\;\; \d...
...; {\rm if} \;\;\; i=j
\;\;\; {\rm else} \;\;\; \delta_{ij}=0
\end{displaymath}

where $\alpha $ is the group_materi_expansion_linear coefficient and $\dot{T}$ is the condif_temperature. These fictitious thermal strain rates in turn lead to stress rates.
