PROBLEM-1
A composite A-36 steel bar shown in the figure has 2
A
segments, AB and BC. Cross-sectional area of AB is
1m
500 mm2 and BC is 400 mm2. The Young’s modulus of
the steel bar is 210 GPa. The bar is subjected to an
B
axial force P = 20 kN. Determine:
1) Displacement of point C relative to A.
1.25 m
2) Normal strain in each segment.
3) Normal stress in each segment.
