Question: A pipe - rod system with flanges at ends A and C was supposed to exactly fit between two rigid walls, as shown in Figure

A pipe-rod system with flanges at ends A and C was supposed to exactly fit
between two rigid walls, as shown in Figure 2. Bolts are installed in the flange at C and are
tightened until the gap of =0.1 in. is closed. After the flange has been tightened against the
walls at C, the temperature of the pipe-rod system ABC is increased uniformly by 50\deg F.
Element (1) is a steel pipe with outer diameter do =2 in. and inner diameter di =1.5 in.
E1=30 x 103 ksi, \alpha 1=6.5 x 10-6/\deg F.
Element (2) is a solid aluminum pipe with diameter d =0.75 in. E2=10 x 103 ksi, \alpha 2=13
x 10-6/\deg F.
Determine the stress induced in each element and the total displacement B of joint B as a
result of closing the gap and temperature increase
