Question: The pin - connected structure shown in the figure consists of a rigid bar ABCD and two axial members. Bar ( 1 ) is steel

The pin-connected structure shown in the
figure consists of a rigid bar ABCD and two
axial members. Bar (1) is steel [E=200 GPa ,=11.710-6C] with a cross-sectional area of A1=400mm2. Bar (2) is an aluminum alloy [E=70 GPa ,=22.5*10-6C ] with cross sectional area of A2=400mm2. The bars are
unstressed when the structure is assembled.
After a concentrated load of P=36kN is
applied and the temperature is decreased by
50C, determine:
(a) the normal stresses in bars (1) and (2).
(b) the deflection of point D on the rigid bar.
