Q1) Bar (1) of length 2.8 m and bar (2) of length 0.73 m are fixed at ends A and C. There is a A = 3.5 mm gap between bar (2) and the rigid plate at B. Load P is applied to plate B and as a result of that, bar (1) elongates and bar (2) get compressed. If the normal strain in bar (1) is 2429 µm/m, find the normal strain in bar (2).

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.
