Question

Three rods of different materials are connected and placed between rigid supports at A and D, as shown. Properties for each of the three rods are given in the accompanying table. The bars are initially unstressed when the structure is assembled at 20°C. After the temperature has been increased to 120°C, determine

(a) the normal stresses in the three rods.
(b) the force exerted on the rigid supports.
(c) the deflections of joints B and C relative to rigid support A.

Aluminum (1) Cast Iron (2) Bronze (3)
L1 = 470 mm L2 = 170 mm L3 = 270 mm
A1 = 1300 mm2 A2 = 2800 mm2 A3 = 700 mm2
E1 = 70 GPa E2 = 155 GPa E3 = 100 GPa
α1 = 22.5 x 10-6/°C α2 = 13.5 x 10-6/°C α3 = 17.0 x 10-6/°C
  • Substitute force-temperature-deformation relationships into the geometry-of-deformation equation to derive the compatibility equation.  Then, find the force in rod (1), F1, the force in rod (2), F2, and the force in rod (3), F3. Be sure to use the correct sign for each force.  By convention, a tension force is positive and a compression force is negative.

    Answer:
F1 =        kN
F2 =        kN
F3 =        kN
  • Find σ1σ2, and σ3, the normal stresses in rods (1), (2), and (3), respectively. By convention, a tension stress is positive, and a compression stress is negative.

    Answers:

σ1 =      MPa
σ2 =      MPa
σ3 =      MPa
  • Determine the magnitudes of the reaction forces at supports A and B.  Note that the reaction forces are equal in magnitude to the forces exerted on the rigid supports.  Since the magnitudes are required, be sure to enter positive values here.

    Answers:

|RA| =      kN
|RB| =      kN
  • Determine δ1 and δ2, the deformations of rods (1) and (2), respectively.  By convention, a deformation is positive for a member that elongates, and it is negative for a member that is shortened. 

    Answers:

δ1 =      mm
δ2 =      mm
  • Determine the deflections of joints B and C relative to rigid support A.  Report a positive value for a deflection to the right and a negative value for deflection to the left.

    Answers:

    uB =      mm
    uC =      mm
