Mapes, thanks for your reply. So in this case if I had assumed that the Young's Modulus does not vary with temperature i.e., \frac{\partial\bf{E}}{\partial\bf{T}} = 0, then I do not have to worry about the variation of \alpha wrt to temperature ?

Thanks for your response. I had the same thought earlier, but then came across this Journal Paper from MIT-Cambridge (although it is quite an old reference) http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?arnumber=5121477 Appreciate your comments on this. Thanks

I have been trying to find an answer for this for quite some time and found this forum which could help me. Does an initial stress (elastic strain induced in a metallic component) change its thermal expansion coefficient? if yes then what is the relationship? In simpler terms, does 2...
