Hey I am working with a group on a project where we basically have to design a boom arm for use in space. We've got most of the project figured out but there is a section where we have to determine the beam's deflection if the top side of the beam reached a 300 degree temperature while the bottom side was fixed at zero.
Obviously I've seen the equation delta=(thermal constant*length^2*temp change)/thickness but that is reresentative of when the two beam ENDS are differing temperatures, not the two beam SIDES as in my case.
My question is what equation would I be looking at to determine this information?
