The pin-connected structure consists of a rigid beam ABCD and two supporting bars. Bar (1) is an aluminum alloy [E = 75 GPa] with a cross-sectional area of A₁ = 850 mm². Bar (2) is a bronze alloy [E = 109 GPa] with a cross-sectional area of A₂ = 410 mm². Assume L₁=2.6 m, L₂-3.3 m, a=0.7 m, b=1.5 m, and c=0.8 m. All bars are unstressed before the load P is applied; however, there is a 4.5-mm clearance in the pin connection at A. If a load of P = 45 kN is applied at B, determine: (a) the normal stresses σ1,02, in both bars (1) and (2). (b) the normal strains €1, €2, in bars (1) and (2). (c) determine the downward deflection VA of point A on the rigid bar. (1) Answers: a (a) σ1 = (b) E₁ = (C) VA = i i i ล B C L2 b C MPa, σ = i με, Ε2 i mm. MPa. με

A load of P = 114 kN is supported by a structure consisting of rigid bar ABC, two identical solid bronze [E = 116 GPa] rods, and a solid steel [E=192 GPa] rod, as shown. The bronze rods (1) each have a diameter of 19 mm and they are symmetrically positioned relative to the center rod (2) and the applied load P. Steel rod (2) has a diameter of 28 mm. All bars are unstressed before the load P is applied; however, there is a 1.5-mm clearance in the bolted connection at B. Assume L₁ = 2.4 m and L₂ = 1.5 m. Determine: (a) the normal stresses in the bronze and steel rods (01, 02). (b) the downward deflection of rigid bar ABC. (1) Answers: L2 (a) σ1 (b) v = = i i B (1) MPa, 02 mm. = i MPa.
