At a temperature of 60°F, a 0.04-in. gap exists between the ends of the two bars shown. Bar (1) is an aluminum alloy [E = 10,000 ksi; v = 0.32; a = 12.5 x 10-6/°F] bar with a width of 3.0 in. and a thickness of 0.75 in. Bar (2) is a stainless steel [E = 28,000 ksi; v = 0.12; a = 9.6 x 10-6/°F] bar with a width of 2.0 in. and a thickness of 0.75 in. The supports at A and C are rigid. Determine (a) the lowest temperature at which the two bars contact each other. (b) the normal stress in the two bars at a temperature of 250°F. (c) the normal strain in the two bars at 250°F. (d) the change in width of the aluminum bar at a temperature of 250°F. (1) 3.0 in. 32 in. 2.0 in. B ↓ (2) 44 in. 0.04-in. gap Determine the lowest temperature, Tcontact, at which the two bars contact each other.
