+**Thermal stress** occurs when temperature changes induce internal forces within a material, often due to uneven expansion or contraction. This inherent struggle can lead to [deformation](/wiki/deformation), [fatigue](/wiki/fatigue), or even structural failure if the material's properties are exceeded. Such stresses are critical in engineering design and [material science](/wiki/material_science) across varying thermal environments.
