Question: Problem # 2 - Stress and Strain Analysis ( 1 5 points total, 3 parts ) A 2 0 - foot - long structural steel
Problem # Stress and Strain Analysis points total, parts
A footlong structural steel bar is tensed along its centroidal axis. Point B is tensed by kips of force and point C is tensed by kips of force. The bar has a rectangular crosssection with a base of inches and height of inches. The steel is ASTM HSLC steel with a yield stress, ksi and modulus of elasticity, ksi. Show all work and any assumptions on the provided calculation sheet. Record your answers on the answer key. Complete the following:
Part A Points: Calculate the axial stress in sections AB and BC of the beam. Does the calculated stress in either section exceed the yield stress of the steel?
Part B Points: Calculate the deformation in sections AB and BC of the beam. What is the total axial deformation that the beam experiences? What is the final length of the beam?
Part C Points: The allowable stress in the beam is ksi calculate the factor of safety the beam was designed for.
