That seems to be the case ! (but I'm mising the Young thingy now?)chriscarson said:Is it change of length = strain x length ?
To calculate change in length without force and area units, you can use the formula: change in length = initial length * coefficient of linear expansion * change in temperature.
The coefficient of linear expansion is a measure of how much a material expands or contracts when exposed to a change in temperature. It is directly related to the change in length, as shown in the formula: change in length = initial length * coefficient of linear expansion * change in temperature.
Yes, you can calculate change in length using only temperature and material properties such as the coefficient of linear expansion. This is because the change in length is directly proportional to the change in temperature and the material's coefficient of linear expansion.
No, it is not possible to calculate change in length without knowing the initial length. The initial length is an essential component in the formula for calculating change in length. Without it, the calculation would be incomplete.
The coefficient of linear expansion for a material can be determined through experiments or by consulting a materials database. It is a unique property of each material and can vary depending on factors such as temperature and composition.
