Question: Rigid bar ABCD is supported by a pin connection at A and by two axial bars ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) . Bar

Rigid bar ABCD is supported by a pin connection at A and by two axial bars (1) and (2). Bar (1) is a 28-in.-long bronze [E=14800ksi, [:=9.710-6F} bar with a cross-sectional area of 1.50in2.Bar(2) is a 44-in.-long aluminum alloy 10-6F] bar with a cross-sectional area of 2.50in2. Both bars are unstressed before the load P is applied. Assume L1=28 in.,L2=44 in.,a=36 in.,b=52 in., and c=12 in. If a concentrated load of P=31 kips is applied to the rigid bar at D and the temperature is decreased by 100.
1.Assuming members in tension, relate the force in the members and the applied force P by summing moments about the pin A.
2.Relate the deflections of points B and C.
3. Relate the deformations of member 1 and member 2.
4. Using the relationship of deformation in yerms of force and temperature change for each member together with equation (3), derive a compatibility equation for the structure.
5.Solve for F1 and F2 using the results of parta 1 and 4.
6. Determine the normal stress in each bar.
7. Determine the normal strain in each bar.
8. Determine the defelction of the ridig bar ABCD at point C.
9. Determine the defelction of the rigid bar ABCD at point D.
