CH8 Stress and Strain - Axial Loading (I) Due: May. 23, 2024

PROBLEM 2.19

Both portions of the rod ABC are made of an aluminum for which E = 70 GPa.
Knowing that the magnitude of P is 4 kN, determine (a) the value of Q so that
the deflection at A is zero, (b) the corresponding deflection of B.

PROBLEM 2.23

Members AB and BE of the truss shown consist of 25-mm-

diameter steel rods (E = 200 GPa). For the loading shown,
determine the elongation of (a) rod AB, (b) rod BE.
 PROBLEM 2.33

An axial centric force of magnitude P = 450 kN is applied

to the composite block shown by means of a rigid end
plate. Knowing that h = 10 mm, determine the normal
stress in (a) the brass core, (b) the aluminum plates.

PROBLEM 2.60

At room temperature (20C) a 0.5-mm gap exists between the ends of

the rods shown. At a later time when the temperature has reached
140C, determine (a) the normal stress in the aluminum rod, (b) the
change in length of the aluminum rod.

PROBLEM 2.43

Each of the rods BD and CE is made of brass (E = 105 GPa)

and has a cross-sectional area of 200 mm2. Determine the
deflection of end A of the rigid member ABC caused by the
2-kN load.
