QUESTION 4(AXIAL LOADING)[13 POINTS]
In a Mechanics of Materials teaching laboratory, there is a bimetallic clamp that consists of
one 40 mm diameter cylinder fabricated using Metal Q and two bolts fabricated using Metal s
with each having a diameter of 12 mm (FIG. Q4). The
To complete the assembly of the clamp, two plates were put in place and, then, the top plate
was subjected to an axial force such that the cylinder was loaded in compression and a response
tension force acted on each bolt. This ensured the bolts held the cylinder snug.
The assembly was carried out when the temperature in the laboratory was 22C.
In a test using the clamp, its temperature was raised to 190C. Under these conditions,
a design requirement was that the axial stress in the cylinder, due to the mechanical loading,
must not exceed 12 MPa .
For Metal Q, modulus of elasticity=69 GPa and coefficient of thermal expansion =2410-6C-1.
For Metal S, modulus of elasticity =120 GPa.
Calculate the coefficient of thermal expansion of Material S.
