15. 9 A uniform temperature increase of 10°C in each element yields zero stress for this special
symmetric arrangement of the truss elements. See the table and figure 1 below showing the
stresses from Autodesk to be zero in each element of the truss.
Note that if the truss is not symmetric as shown in figure 2 and then is uniformly heated, the
middle element has a stress of 3.46 MPa in it, while the top element has a stress of 2.83
15.10 Bodies that are statically indeterminate will have stress due to uniform temperature change.
