Question

At a temperature of 60°F, a 0.05-in. gap exists between the ends of the two bars shown. Bar (1) is an aluminum alloy [E = 10,000 ksi; v = 0.32; α=α=12.5 x 10-6/°F] bar with a width of 2.9 in. and a thickness of 0.80 in. Bar (2) is a stainless steel [E = 28,000 ksi; v = 0.12; α=α=9.6 x 10-6/°F] bar with a width of 1.9 in. and a thickness of 0.80 in. The supports at A and C are rigid. Assume h1=2.9 in., h2=1.9 in., L1=28 in., L2=42 in., and Δ=Δ= 0.05 in. 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 255°F.
(c) the normal strain in the two bars at 255°F.
(d) the change in width of the aluminum bar at a temperature of 255°F.

 

Determine the lowest temperature, Tcontact, at which the two bars contact each other.
