Mear Exam I Problem, B © D & — 2L— >t Lafe ba je by] ross-sectional area 24 and Young’s modulus 2E cross-sectional area 24 and Young’s modulus E ross-sectional area and Young’s modulus E Find: a) the maximum tensile stress and maximum compressive stress in the assembly, and ) the displacement of the free end of the assembly. Problem 2: Three plates are joined together by two bolts as shown in the figure, All three plates have axial rigidity EA and coefficient of thermal expansion ct. The bolts have diameter d. At the temperature at which the structure is assembled the plates are free of stress, but the temperature is then changed by an amount AT. Determine: a) the maximum shear stress in the bolts, and b) the displacement of point C. tep viewProblem 3: The horizontal beam is rigid while the two vertical rods have axial rigidity EA and coefficient of thermal expansion at. In addition to the applied load P, bar2 (and only bar 2) is subjected to a temperature change AT. a) Find the force in each rod induced by the combination of the load P and the ‘temperature change AT. ) Find the temperature change that (for a given load P) would cause the rigid beam to remain horizontal, Problem 4: Consider the structure shown below. Alll four bars have axial rigidity EA, and ‘the block at the center of the structure is rigid. Initially there is a small gap s between the left-side center bar and the rigid block. That “misfitting” bar is stretched and attached to ‘the block, and then the structure is released. * Find the final (internal) force in each of the bars. 5 rigt ® iC SQ RK ——L_— — L—|
