Chapter 4, Problem 3

At room temperature (20°C), a gap ∆ exits between the wall and the right end of the
bars shown in Figure P4.3. Determine
(a) The compressive axial force in the bars after temperature reaches 140°C.
(b) The corresponding change in length of the aluminum bar.

Chapter 4, Solution 3

Increase in length due to ∆T (unrestrained):

δt = ∑ α ( ∆T ) L = (12 × 10 −6 )(120 o )( 250) + ( 23 × 10 −6 )(120 o )(300) = 1188

Chapter 4, Problem 15

Figure P4.15 shows a compound beam with a hinge at point B. It is composed of two
parts: a beam BC simply supported at C and a cantilevered beam AB fixed at A. Apply
the superposition method using Table A.9 to determine the deflection vB at the hinge.

Figure P4.15

Chapter 4, Solution 15

From a free body diagram of beam BC, we observe that it has vertical reactions 2P/3
and P/3 at ends B and C, respectively. Thus, beam AB is in the condition of a cantilever
beam under a uniform load of intensity w and a concentrated load B equal to 2P/3.
