Question
At temperature of -10°C, the gap of a steel bar 5 m long, placed between two
rigid walls, is 3.5mm. The steel bar is 5m long and has a cross-sectional area of
350mm². Parameters of steel are a = 11.6 × 10-6/°C and modulus of elasticity
is equal 200GPa.
L = 5 m
a) Determine the temperature that will cause the steel bar to touch the wall.
b) Determine the temperature at which the compressive stress in the bar is
equal to 80MPa.
c) Determine the compressive force (in kN) in the bar when the temperature
was increased to 70°C.
