Consider the shear spring shown below. It is made by bonding the rubber annulus to a rigid fixed ring and a plug. When an axial load P =
113.1 kN is placed on the plug, the deflection of the rubber annulus as shown in the dashed lines. Assuming small angles, compute δ (in
m), the magnitude of the deflection at the intersection of the ring and the plug. Take G = 0.0006 GPa, h = 0.30m, r0 = 0.50m and ri =
0.25m. Write correctly up to 4 decimal places

Question 4
Correct
Mark 10.00 out of 10.00

Two aluminum bars (Modulus of elasticity EAl = 72 GPa) are attached to a rigid support at the left and a rigid cross-bar at the right. An
iron bar (EFe = 207 GPa) is attached to the rigid support at the left, and there is a gap b = 2 mm between the right end of the iron bar and
the cross-bar. The cross-sectional area of each bar is A = 100 mm2 and L = 1.2 m. If the iron bar is stretched until it contacts the cross-
bar and welded to it, what is the normal stress (in MPa, correct up to one decimal place) in the iron bar afterward?
Estimated time 10-12 min

Answer: 141.6 

The correct answer is: 141.6
