PB 268

The rigid bar ABC is pinned at B and connected to vertical steel and aluminum rods. Initially, the bar is horizontal and the rods are stress-free. When the temperature of the steel rod decreases by 40°C, it tries to contract but is resisted by the aluminum rod. This causes stress in the aluminum rod. The document provides equations to calculate the stress in the aluminum rod given the temperature change and material properties.

Problem 268

The rigid bar ABC in Fig. P-268 is pinned at B and attached to the two vertical rods.
Initially, the bar is horizontal and the vertical rods are stress-free. Determine the stress
in the aluminum rod if the temperature of the steel rod is decreased by 40C. Neglect
the weight of bar ABC.

Solution 268

Contraction of steel rod, assuming complete freedom:

The steel rod cannot freely contract because of the resistance of aluminum rod. The
movement of A (referred to as A), therefore, is less than 0.4212 mm. In terms of
aluminum, this movement is (by ratio and proportion):
Equation (1)

Equation (2)

Equations (1) and (2)
