Current Attempt in Progress
The pin-connected structure shown in the figure consists of a rigid beam ABCD and two supporting bars. Bar (1) is a bronze alloy
108GPa with a cross-sectional area of A1=250mm2. Bar (2) is an aluminum alloy E=70GPa with a cross-sectional area of A2=570
mm2. All bars are unstressed before the load P is applied; however, there is a 4-mm clearance in the pin connection at A. Assume L1=
2200mm,a=1000mm,b=600mm,c=470mm, and L2=1590mm. If a load of P=102kN is applied at B, determine
(a) the normal stresses in both bars (1) and (2).
(b) the downward deflection of point A on the rigid bar.
