Hi, I want to find the deformation or loading rate for a thermally induced test. The test is restraining a beam in a chamber, where the temperature varies, and due to this change in temperature, there is tensile cracking in the specimen. How do I find the deformation or loading rate from this? Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!
