A steel rod of 20 mm diameter passes centrally through a copper tube of external diameter 40 mm and internal diameter 20 mm. The tube is closed at each end with the help of rigid washers (of negligible thickness) which are screwed by the nuts. The nuts are tightened until the compressive load on the copper tube is 50 kN. Determine the stresses in the rod and the tube, when the temperature of whole 2x 10-6/°C %3D assembly falls by 50°C. Take Es = 200 GPa ; Ec 100 GPa ; as and ac 18 x 106/°C. mea

Axial Load

When a bar of the uniform cross-section is acted by a load, such that the load acts along the longitudinal axis of the bar, such kinds of loadings are known as axial loadings. In general terms, a load is an external force acting on a component. An axial load acts perpendicular to the geometric cross-section of the component. Based on the direction of the application of the load, an axial load can be tensile or compressive. The analysis of bodies under the action of axial loads is generally studied under the branch of mechanics, known as statics.
