Hollow Cylinder- Thermal Effects
Hollow Cylinder- Thermal Effects
(OP)
Say you have an aluminum hollow cylinder with an OD and ID and length L. You uniformly change the temperature of the entire hollow cylinder by DT. I want to calculate the change in the OD of the hollow cylinder. Is it simply the original OD * alpha * DT?
Or is there an influence of the ID?
Does a hollow cylinder's OD behave the same as a solid cylinder's OD under thermal effects alone?

So, the change is OD is the same for a hollow cylinder or a solid cylinder?

How will you (those people) accurately get the cylinder accurately and consistently positioned axially inside the outer wall every time?
