A composite rod is comprised of an EN8 steel shaft of length, diameter and Young’s modulus of 200 mm, 20 mm and 210 GPa, respectively, that is joined end to end to an aluminium shaft of length, diameter and Elastic modulus of 150 mm, 30 mm and 80 GPa, respectively. If the composite rod stores a strain energy of 20 Nm and deforms linear elastically, calculate: The stresses in each rod. The strain energy absorbed by each component shaft.
