The three equally spaced vertical rods in Fig. (a) are securely attached to a rigid horizontal bar. The two outer rods are made of an aluminum alloy, and the middle rod is steel. The cross- sectional areas of the rods are shown in the figure. Determine the residual stresses in the rods after the load P has been increased from zero to the limit load and then removed. The material 290 M Pa = properties are E = 70 GPa, Oyp = 330 M Pafor aluminum, and E = 200 GPa, o yp for steel. Neglect the weight of the bar.
