Question: A solid steel bar (0.5 mathrm{~m}) long and (50 mathrm{~mm}) diameter is placed inside and aluminium tube having inside and outside diameters (60 mathrm{~mm}) and

A solid steel bar \(0.5 \mathrm{~m}\) long and \(50 \mathrm{~mm}\) diameter is placed inside and aluminium tube having inside and outside diameters \(60 \mathrm{~mm}\) and \(80 \mathrm{~mm}\) respectively. The aluminium tube is \(0.2 \mathrm{~mm}\) longer than steel bar. An axial load of \(750 \mathrm{kN}\) is applied to the composite system through rigid cover plates as shown in Fig. 13.65. Calculate the stresses developed in steel bar and aluminium tube. \(E_{s}=200 \mathrm{GPa}, E_{a}=70 \mathrm{GPa}\).
