1 Analysis of One Dimensional Bar , Analysis of Two-Dimensional Truss Instructions and Reminders: *Show your complete and comprehensive solution. *Include all relevant illustrations, drawings, derivations, concepts, etc. whenever possible. *No applicable formats necessary. No extra sheets (fly leaf, front page, back page, etc.) nor folders should be used. Just staple your papers properly. *Write solutions legibly on the prescribed paper for the class. Use short white bond papers. *A random audit of your answers will be done in the class to prove if you understand your solutions. Prepare and beware. Analysis of One-Dimensional Rod Solve the following problems completely. Round off each values of displacements to 5 decimal places only. 1. Member 2 of a uniform 50 mm square bar shown in FIG 1.2 has E = 200 GPa is exposed to increase in temperature at 20C. Determine the reaction(s) at support A and the forces exerted by members 1 and 2. Assume coefficient of linear expansion = 20x10-6 mm/mm/C

FIG.1.1 2. Determine the member forces, nodal displacements and support reactions of a rod shown in the FIG 1.2 if the rod is exposed to decrease in temperature at 20F. Use E = 29000 ksi and coefficient of thermal expansion = 29x10-6in/in/F

Analysis of Two-Dimensional Truss Solve the following problems completely. Round off each values of displacements to 5 decimal places only. 1. Write the elemental force displacement relation matrix of all the members of the truss shown in the FIG. 2.1 2. If the displacement in the member 8 in the FIG 2.1 is given below, calculate the axial force in this member.

FIG. 2.1 3. Determine the nodal displacement, member forces and support reactions of the truss shown in the FIG 2.2. 4. Aside from the given load, member 1 of the truss shown in the FIG 2.3 was fabricated too short, member 2 under goes temperature increase of 20F and node 3 and 4 moves and 1/8 respectively. Solve for the member forces. Use
