The rigid beam hidden in the figure is fixed at the top by two posts (dext = 50mm), one in AISI 4340 steel and the other in 6063-T6 aluminum. The posts are 500 mm long when no load is applied to the beam, and the temperature is T1 = 20°C. Calculate the longitudinal displacements (δAl, and δFe) and half stresses (σAl, and σFe) in the posts when a homogeneously distributed load of 400 kN/m is applied, and the temperature is raised to T2 = 70°C. Calculate the factors of safety. Use EFe = 200 Gpa , and EAl = 70 Gpa. Elastic limit AISI 4340 (Sy = 786 MPa), and AA6063-T6 (Sy = 214 MPa

Question

The rigid beam hidden in the figure is fixed at the top by two posts (dext = 50mm), one in AISI 4340 steel and the other in 6063-T6 aluminum. The posts are 500 mm long when no load is applied to the beam, and the temperature is T1 = 20°C. Calculate the longitudinal displacements (δAl, and δFe) and half stresses (σAl, and σFe) in the posts when a homogeneously distributed load of 400 kN/m is applied, and the temperature is raised to T2 = 70°C. Calculate the factors of safety. Use EFe = 200 Gpa , and EAl = 70 Gpa. Elastic limit AISI 4340 (Sy = 786 MPa), and AA6063-T6 (Sy = 214 MPa).

R:/ δAl= -0.15 mm; σAl=-21.4 Mpa;  δFe= +0.05 mm  σFe = +18.1 Mpa;
