Problem #2: (30 points) The simple structure in Figure 2a (shown on the following page) consists
of two members AB and AC. Vertical bar AB is pinned at B and is pinned to bar AC at A. Horizontal
bar AC is also pinned at C, and it is subjected to a triangular load that varies in intensity from zero
at point C to w_(o)(l(b)/(f)t) at the left end of the bar. Bar ABE=100
GPa , and yield stress \sigma _(Y)=70MPa.AB that occurs in the plane of Figure 2a, the supports at A and B act like
pins. For buckling of bar AB that occurs in the plane that is perpendicular to Figure 2a, the support
at B acts like a fixed (i.e. clamped) end, and the connection at A acts like a pin.
The cross section of member ABD-D AB as seen in Figure 2a; the 160 mm dimension is
perpendicular to the plane of Figure 2a and corresponds to the depth of member AB not seen in
Figure 2a.
aI_(in-plane ) needed to calculate the buckling load P_(in-plane ) of member
AB for buckling in the plane of Figure 2a, and use it to calculate the value of the buckling
load P_(in-plane ).
bI_(perp ) needed to calculate the buckling load P_(perp ) of member AB for
buckling in the plane that is perpendicular to Figure 2a, and use it to calculate the value of
the buckling load P_(perp ).
cAB. Express the result in terms of w_(o).
dw_(o) before member AB buckles in the plane of Figure 2a, and find
the largest value of w_(o) before member AB buckles in the plane that is perpendicular to Figure
2a.
ew_(o) before the member AC yields. As w_(o) increases gradually from
zero, how does member AB fail first, and at what value of w_(o)? Explain.
fAB, then find the largest value of w_(o) before member AB
buckles in the plane of Figure 2a. In this case, as w_(o) increases gradually from zero, how does
member AB fail first, and at what value of w_(o)? Explain.
