Equilibrium and Support Reactions

Civil engineers deal with structures that are composed of several members connected or with individual members such as beams and columns. To analyze such structures, the condition of statics must be applied. Under the static condition, the members are considered to be in equilibrium under the action of forces, that is, the members are assumed to be having negligible velocity.

Question

The switch shown is designed to close as the temperature rises causing AB and CD to expand and
making point E come in contact with point F. Arm AB is made of steel with a CTE of ast = 12x10-6/
°C, and arm CD is made of aluminum with a CTE of aa = 24x10-é /°C. At 20 °C, arm BDE is vertical
as shown. Determine the required gap, s, (at 20 °C) if the switch is to close at 120 °C, knowing that
LBD = 400 mm and LDE = 160 mm. Express your answer in mm to the nearest 0.001 mm.

Rigid bar ABCD is supported by a pin connection at A and by two axial bars (1) and (2). Bar (1) is a 34-in.-long bronze [E = 15000 ksi, α=α= 9.2 × 10−6/°F] bar with a cross-sectional area of 1.75 in.2. Bar (2) is a 42-in.-long aluminum alloy [E = 10300 ksi, α=α= 11.9 × 10−6/°F] bar with a cross-sectional area of 2.25 in.2. Both bars are unstressed before the load P is applied. Assume L1=34 in., L2=42 in., a=30 in., b=42 in., and c=16 in.
