    This document contains two problems about determining stresses and displacements due to thermal expansion. The first problem involves a 10m steel rail that experiences a 50 degree C temperature increase, and asks to calculate the normal stress in the rail and internal force. The second problem involves an aluminum and steel structure under a 150kN load that increases 100 degrees C, and asks to find the normal stresses in the bars and vertical displacement of point D assuming member CD is rigid.

    1. A 10 m section of steel [E = 200 GPa and α = 11.

    9(l0-6)/°C] rail has a cross-sectional area of 7500


    mm2. Both ends of the rail are tight against adjacent rails that, for this problem, can be assumed
    to be rigid. The rail is supported against lateral movement. For an increase in temperature of 50°C,
    determine
    (a) The normal stress in the rail.
    (b) The internal force on a cross section of the rail.

    2. After a load P = 150 kN is applied to the pin-connected structure shown, the temperature
    increases 100°C. The thermal coefficients of expansion are 22(10-6)/˚C for the aluminum alloy rod
    A and 12(10-6)/°C for the steel rod B. The moduli of elasticity of aluminum and steel are 75 GPa
    and 200 GPa, respectively. The cross-sectional area of members A and B are 1000 mm: and 500
    mm2, respectively. If member CD is rigid, determine
    (a) The normal stresses in bars A and B.
    (b) The vertical component of the displacement of point D.
