Thermal Stress & Expansion of Plastics Calculator

By SABIC Innovative Plastics

An item that is commonly overlooked is the consideration of the expansion and contraction of a part along with the stress it has to endure.  The Thermal Stress and Expansion of Plastics Calculator is ideal for quickly analyzing a part within the temperature range in which it will need to perform.  The tool also determines the level of stress/strain that develops within the part, based on how the part is fixed and if it's going through expansion or contraction.
