Tutorial 4 Axially Loaded Members 3

This document contains a 3 question mechanical engineering tutorial on axially loaded members. Question 1 asks to calculate stress, strain, and displacement variation along the length of a uniformly loaded bar rotating at one end. Question 2 uses Castigliano's theorem to find the total deformation and deflection at point B of two composite rods made of different materials. Question 3 also uses Castigliano's theorem to estimate the vertical deflection at point B and horizontal deflection at point C of a loaded equilateral triangle structure.

Tutorial #4: Axially Loaded Members 3
Maximum Marks: 100

Q1. Figure 1 shows a bar of uniform cross-section with area A, length L and density ρ pin-jointed
at one end and rotating in-plane with angular velocity ω. Calculate the stress, strain and
displacement variation along the length of the rod. Assign a co-ordinate system such that x-axis is
always along the length of the rod. [35 Marks]

Q2. Two solid cylindrical rods are joined at B and loaded as shown in Figure 2. Rod AB is made
up of steel (E = 200 GPa) and rod BC of brass (E = 105 GPa). Use Castigliano’s theorem to
determine (a) the total deformation of the composite rod ABC, (b) the deflection of point B.
[30 Marks]

Q3. In Tutorial #1, we have calculated the forces in each bar of the hinged equilateral triangle
when loaded as shown in Figure 3. Use Castigliano’s theorem to estimate the vertical deflection
of point B and horizontal deflection of point C. Let L and A be the length, cross-sectional area of
the members and E be the elastic modulus. [35 Marks]
