Question: The bar ABCDE having three different cross - sectional areas is firmly attached to support A , as shown below. Four axial loads are applied
The bar ABCDE having three different crosssectional areas is firmly attached to support as
shown below. Four axial loads are applied to the bar, acts at point
acts at point acts at point and acts at point The modulus of
elasticity of the bar is GPa. The coefficient of thermal expansion is
a Calculate the reaction at the support A and draw the Axial Force Diagram AFD of the
entire bar. Clearly indicate tension or compression.
b Determine the axial stress in MPa of the four sections of the bar and
Clearly indicate tension or compression.
c Calculate the displacements in at four points B C D and E Clearly indicate
elongation or contraction.
d Draw displacement diagram of the entire bar.
e In addition to the four axial loads shown in the figure, if the entire bar is also subject to
an increase of temperature by calculate the displacement in at point
Clearly indicate elongation or contraction.
