By the end of this section, you will be able to define and describe thermal expansion; calculate the linear expansion of an object given its initial length, change in temperature, and coefficient of linear expansion; and calculate the volume expansion of an object given its initial volume, change in temperature, and coefficient of volume expansion. Calculate thermal stress on an object given its original volume, temperature change, volume change, and bulk modulus
