Before the 400-kN load is applied, the rigid platform rests
on two steel bars, each of cross-sectional area 1400 mm2, as
shown in the figure. The cross-sectional area of the
aluminum bar is 2800 mm2. Compute the stress in the
aluminum bar after the 400-kN load is applied. Use E = 200
GPa for steel and E =70 GPa for aluminum. Neglect the
weight of the platform.

The rigid, homogeneous slab weighing 600 kN is supported by
three rods of identical material and cross section. Before the slab
was attached, the lower ends of the rods were at the same level.
Compute the axial force in each rod.

The steel rod is stress-free before the
axial loads P1= 150 kN and P2= 90kN
are applied to the rod. Assuming that
the walls are rigid, calculate the axial
force in each segment after the loads
are applied. Use E =200 GPa.

The rigid bar AD is supported by two steel wires of 1/16-in.
diameter (E =29 x 106 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.

The assembly shown consists of an aluminum shell
(Ea=10.6 x106 psi, αa=12.9 x 10-6/°F) fully bonded to
a steel core (Es=29 x106 psi, αs = 6.5 x 10-6/°F) and is
unstressed. Determine (a) the largest allowable
change in temperature if the stress in the aluminum
shell is not to exceed 6 ksi, (b) the corresponding
change in length of the assembly.

The rigid horizontal bar ABC of negligible
mass is connected to two rods as shown in the
figure. If the system is initially stress-free,
calculate the temperature change that will
cause a tensile stress of 90 MPa in the brass
rod. Assume that both rods are subjected to
the same change in temperature.
