..........and not all displacement stresses are caused by temperature changes. Not all "thermal stresses" are cyclic thermal displacement stresses. And not all possible stresses are explicitly addressed by the B31 Codes. Watch B31.1 in its next edition for changes in some terminology and the introduction of a definition for "peak stress".
