Rigid bar ABC is supported by two identical solid bronze [σY = 331 MPa; E = 105 GPa; α = 22.0 × 10−6/°C] rods and a single solid steel [σY = 250 MPa; E = 200 GPa; α = 11.7×10−6/°C] rod. Bronze rods (1) each have diameters of d1 = 24 mm and lengths of L1 = 4.5 m. Steel rod (2) has a length of L2 = 6 m. (a) Calculate th
Rigid bar ABC is supported by two identical solid bronze [σY = 331 MPa; E = 105 GPa; α = 22.0 × 10−6/°C] rods and a single solid steel [σY = 250 MPa; E = 200 GPa; α = 11.7×10−6/°C] rod. Bronze rods (1) each have diameters of d1 = 24 mm and lengths of L1 = 4.5 m. Steel rod (2) has a length of L2 = 6 m.
(a) Calculate the diameter d2 required for steel rod (2) so that the deflection of joint B is zero for any change in temperature.
(b) Using the value of d2 determined in part (a), determine the maximum temperature decrease that is allowable for this assembly if a factor of safety of 1.6 is specified for the normal stress in each rod. Since the temperature is decreasing, the answer should be negative.
