2.04 problem, Vu-Quoc sec.9 p.9-6

Use   on FBD 3

 

Knowing that the strain relation is found by:

 

We understand that without a linear strain relation we can't use the superposition principle to separate the reaction as we did in class.
So we'll need to set two FBD's displacement equations equal to each other in order to solve


The displacement equation mentioned previously is applied to FBD 3, which yeilds:

 

To solve for   we must sum all displacements from each section we cut and set it equal to 0

These equations yield

 

 

 

 


 


 


since all quantities are squared, therefore

Problem R2.3 edit

P2.16, Beer 2012

Problem Statement edit

The brass tube AB (E = 105 GPa) has a cross-sectional area of 140 mm^2 and is fitted with a plug at A. The tube is attached at B to a rigid plate that is itself attached at C to the bottom of an aluminum cylinder (E = 72 GPa) with a cross-sectional area of 250 mm^2. The cylinder is then hung from a support at D. In order to close the cylinder, the plug must move down through 1 mm. Determine the force P that must be applied to the cylinder.

Problem R2.5 edit

P2.40, Beer 2012

Problem Statement edit

A polystyrene rod consisting of two cylindrical portions AB and BC is restrained at both ends and supports two 6-kip loads as shown. Knowing that E = 0.45 X 10^6 psi, determine (a) the reactions at A and C, (b) the normal stress in each portion of the rod.

Solution edit

 

Splitting the diagram into two parts we get part 1 and part 2 So we are given:

Part 1:

 

 

Part 2:

 

 


 

 

 


Looking at the free body diagram we see that


 


The total   equals zero so


 


Using the formula


 


We find that


 


Substituting in the reaction forces   and  


  will show negative because the force is facing opposite to  


 


Solving for   we get


 

So


  and solving a system of equations with

(b) Using the formula  

So

Problem R2.6 edit

P2.44, Beer 2012

Problem Statement edit

The rigid bar AD is supported by two steel wires of 1 16-in. diameter (E = 29 X 10^6 psi) and a pin and bracket at D. Knowing that the wires were initially taut, determine (a) the additional tension in each wire when a 120-lb load P is applied at B, (b) the corresponding deflection of point B.
