The two cylindrical rod segments shown in the figure below (Figure 1) are fixed to the rigid walls such that there is a gap of 0.01 in
.between them when T1=50F
. Each rod has a diameter of 1.7 in
. Take \alpha al=13(106)/F
, Eal=10(103)ksi
,(\sigma Y)al=40ksi
,\alpha cu=9.4(106)/F
,(\sigma Y)cu=50ksi
, and Ecu=15(103)ksi
.
Figure1 of 1
A 12-inch copper rod extends right from a wall. A 6-inch aluminum rod extends left from a wall. There is a 0.01-inch gap between them.
Part A
What larger temperature T2
is required in order to just close the gap?
Express your answer to three significant figures. Determine the magnitude of the average normal stress in each rod if T2=320F
.
