18 CHAPTER1 Tension, Compression, and Shear
Problem 1.3-5 A symmetrical framework consisting of three pin-connected
bars is loaded by a force P (see figure). The angle between the inelined bars
and the horizontal is a = 48°. The axial strain inthe middle bar is measured
as 00713.
Determine the tensile stress in the outer bats if they are constructed of
aluminum alloy having the stress-strain diagram shown in Fig. 1-13.
(Express the stress in USCS units.)
