9 A hollow steel [E = 30,000 ksi] tube (1) with
an outside diameter of 2.75 in. and a wall
thickness of 0.25 in. is fastened to a solid
aluminum [E = 10,000 ksi] rod (2) that has a 2-
in.-diameter and a solid 1.375-in.-diameter
aluminum rod (3). The bar is loaded as shown in
Figure P5.9. Determine:
(a) the change in length of steel tube (1).
(b) the deflection of joint D with respect to the
fixed support at A. FIGURE P5.9
(c) the maximum normal stress in the entire axial
assembly.
Solution
Before proceeding, it is convenient to determine the internal forces in each of the three axial segments.
Segment (1): Draw a FBD that cuts through
segment (1) and includes the free end of the axial
member. From this FBD, the sum of forces in the
horizontal direction gives the force in segment (1):
Fx F1 2(34 kips) 2(18 kips) 25 kips 0
F1 57 kips
Segment (2): Draw a FBD that cuts through
segment (2) and includes the free end of the axial
member. From this FBD, the sum of forces in the
horizontal direction gives the force in segment (2):
Fx F2 2(18 kips) 25 kips 0
F2 11 kips
Segment (3): Draw a FBD that cuts through
segment (3) and includes the free end of the axial
member. From this FBD, the sum of forces in the
horizontal direction gives the force in segment (3):
Fx F3 25 kips 0
F3 25 kips
(a) The cross-sectional area of the hollow steel tube (inside diameter = 2.25 in.) is
A1 (2.75 in.)2 (2.25 in.) 2 1.963495 in.2
4
The deformation in segment (1) is thus
FL (57 kips)(60 in.)
1 1 1 0.058060 in. 0.0581 in. Ans.
A1 E1 (1.963495 in.2 )(30, 000 ksi)
(b) For segment (2), the cross-sectional area of the 2-in.-diameter aluminum rod is
A2 (2 in.)2 3.141593 in.2
4
The deformation in segment (2) can be computed as
FL (11 kips)(40 in.)
2 2 2 0.014006 in.
A2 E2 (3.141593 in.2 )(10, 000 ksi)

For segment (3), the cross-sectional area of the 1.375-in.-diameter aluminum rod is
A3 (1.375 in.) 2 1.484893 in.2
4
The deformation in segment (3) can be computed as
FL (25 kips)(30 in.)
3 3 3 0.050509 in.
A3 E3 (1.484893 in.2 )(10, 000 ksi)
The deflection of joint D with respect to the fixed support at A is found from the sum of the three
segment deformations:
uD 1 2 3 0.058060 in. 0.014006 in. 0.050509 in.
0.094563 in. 0.0946 in. 0.0946 in. Ans.
(c) Compute the normal stress in each of the three segments:
F 57 kips
1 1 29.0299 ksi (C)
A1 1.963495 in.2
F2 11 kips
2 3.5014 ksi (T)
A2 3.141593 in.2
F3 25 kips
3 16.8362 ksi (C)
A3 1.484893 in.2
Therefore, the maximum normal stress in the axial member occurs in segment (1):
max 29.0 ksi (C) Ans.
