Question:

If an isotropic solid is heated nonuniformly to a temperature distribution T(x,y,z) and the material has unrestricted thermal expansion, the resulting strains will be eij = αTδ. Show that this case can only occur if the temperature is a linear function of the coordinates:

T = ax+by+cz + d
