At what temperature will the aluminum and steel segments in Prob. 2.86 have stresses of equal magnitude after the 50-kip force is applied?
Step: 1
Draw the freebody diagram of composite bar .
Step: 2
Determine the stress in each part when stress is equal.
Consider forces along horizontal direction.
Here, is force in steel segment and
is force in aluminum segment.
Substitute for
and
for
.
Step: 3
Here, is stress in steel part,
is stress in aluminum part,
is cross section n area of aluminum and
is cross section n area of steel.
Step: 4
Substitute for,
for
and
for
.
Therefore,
Step: 5
Draw the displacement diagram .
Step: 6
Calculate the at what temperature will aluminum and steel segment have stress of equal magnitude after the load is applied by using the compatibility equation (relaxing the right support).
Compatibility equation is
Here, is length of aluminum segment,
is length of steel segment,
is coefficient of thermal expansion of aluminum,
is coefficient of thermal expansion of rod ,
is temperature change,
is cross section area of aluminum segment,
is stress in each segment,
is Young’s modulus of aluminum and
is Young’s modulus of steel.
Substitute for
,
for
,
for
,
for
,
for
,
for
,
for
,
for
and
for
.
The final temperature becomes
Therefore, the at what temperature will aluminum and steel segment have stress of equal magnitude after the load is applied is
