The depicted in the figure below has a length of 0.635m and a diameter of 50mm. The bar is made of a copper alloy with an elastic modulus E = 110 GPa and a linear thermal expansion coefficient a = 17.5 x 10-6/°C. The bar is initially positioned at room temperature with a gap of 0.2mm between end A and the rigid wall. The bar's right end at B is supported by an elastic spring of negligible thermal expansion coef- ficient and a spring constant of k = 210 × 10 N/m. A small gap maintained between the copper bar and the smooth surrounding sleeve facilitates frictionless motion as the bar thermally expands. Questions: (a) Compute the temperature increase ATer required to close the 0.2 mm gap. (b) Compute the axial force R developed in the copper bar due to a temperature increase of AT = 27°C. State the compatibility condition and solve it for R. (c) Compute the compressive (engineering) stress o developed within the copper bar due to the axial force R. Express your answer in MPa. (d) Compute the total axial strain of the copper bar that develops after it makes contact with the rigid wall. Express your answer in microstrains. (e) Compute the length change of the copper bar after it makes contact with the rigid wall. (f) Compute the length change of the spring.

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.
