Box and round off your final answers to two decimal places.

Situation - During a stress-strain test, the unit of deformation at a stress of 35 MN/m2 was observed to be
166.67 x 10-6 m/m and at a stress of 140 MN/m2 it was 666.67 x 10-6 m/m. If the proportional limit was 200
MN/m2.
1. What is the modulus of elasticity? _________________
2. What is the strain corresponding to a stress of 80 MN/m2? _________________

axial tensile force of 60 kN.
3. Determine deformation of the rod. _________________
4. Determine the stiffness of the rod. _________________
5. Determine the flexibility of the rod. _________________

6. A bronze bar is fastened between a steel bar and an aluminum bar as shown in the figure. Axial loads are
applied at the positions indicated. Find the largest value of P that will not exceed an overall deformation of 3.0
mm, or the following stresses: 140 MPa in the steel, 120 MPa in the bronze, and 80 MPa in the aluminum.
Assume that the assembly is suitably braced to prevent buckling. Use Est = 200 GPa, Eal = 70
GPa, and Ebr = 83 GPa. _________________

7. The figure shows a homogeneous, rigid block weighing 12 kips that is supported by three symmetrically
placed rods. The lower ends of the rods were at the same level before the block was attached. The temperature
of all bars increases by 100°F. _________________

8. A steel rod 3 m long is secured between two walls. The rod is stress free at 20C. The cross-sectional area of
the rod is 1000 mm2 and a = 11.25 um/m°C. Determine the stress in the rod when the temperature rises to
70C if the walls are rigid. _________________

9. Rigid beam AB rests on the two short posts shown in Fig. a. AC is made of steel and has a diameter of 20
mm, and BD is made of aluminum and has a diameter of 40 mm. Determine the displacement of point F on AB
if a vertical load of 90 kN is applied at this point. Take EST = 200 GPa, EAL= 70 GPa. _________________

10. The steel rod shown in Figure has a diameter of 10 mm. It is fixed to the wall at A, and before it is loaded,
there is a gap of 0.2 mm between the wall at B′ and the rod. Determine the reactions on the rod if it is
subjected to an axial force of P = 20 kN. Neglect the size of the collar at C. Take EST = 200 GPa.

11. The three A992 steel bars shown in Fig. 4–13a are pin connected to a rigid member. If the applied load on
the member is 15 kN, determine the force developed in each bar. Bars AB and EF each have a cross sectional
area of 50 mm,2 and bar CD has a cross-sectional area of 30 mm2.

12. A member ABCD is subjected to point loads P1, P2, P3 and P4 as shown in the figure. Calculate the force
P2 necessary for equilibrium, if P1 = 45 kN, P3 = 450 kN and P4 = 130 kN. Determine the total elongation of
the member, assuming the modulus of elasticity to be 2.1 × 105 N/mm2.

13. A round bar with stepped portion is subjected to forces as shown in the figure. Determine the magnitude
of force P such that the net deformation in the bar does not exceed 1 mm. E for steel is 200 GPa and for
aluminium is 70 GPa. Big end diameter and small end diameter of the tapering bar are 40 mm and 12.5 mm
respectively.

14. A circular bar ABCD is rigidly fixed at A and B and is subjected to axial forces as shown in Figure.
Determine (a) The reactions and forces in each portion of the bar. (b) Displacements of points B and C. Take E

steel is 2000 mm2, find the stresses developed. Take Es = 210 GPa and Eb = 90 GPa.

16. Figure shows a composite bar subjected to axial load F. (a) Determine the magnitude of maximum
permissible load if the compressive stress in the rod is not to exceed 110 MPa and that in tube is 80 MPa.
(b)Find the amount by which the tube will be shortened if the compressive stress in the tube and rod are
