Question
The rigid bar BDE is supported by two rods AB and CD. Rod AB is made of aluminum (Eal = 70 GPa) and has a cross-sectional area of AAB= 400 mm2; Rod CD is made of steel (Esteel = 200 GPa) and has a cross-sectional area of ACD = 500 mm2. The load P = 31 kN is applied at point E as shown in the figure. [LAB = 0.3 m, LCD = 0.4 m, a = 0.2 m, b = 0.4 m]
Determine the internal force of rod AB?KN
Determine the displacement of point B?in mm
Determine the displacement of point E?
