Department of Mechanical Engineering

Topic: Simple Stress and Strain


Problem 1. A circular steel bar having three segments is subjected to various forces at
different cross- sections as shown in Fig. 1. Determine the necessary force to be
applied at Section C for the equilibrium of the bar. Also, find the total elongation of
the bar. Take E=202 GPa

Problem 2. A steel wire of 1 mm diameter stretched horizontally between two fixed
points 1.6 m apart is acted upon by a vertical load applied at the mid-span. The load
causes a vertical displacement of 40 mm at the load point. Determine the load applied
and the stress induced in the wire neglecting the weight of the wire. E=205 MPa.

Problem 3. Determine expressions for extension of rods of conical section and
trapezoidal section.

Problem 4. A tension bar tapers from (d+ a) diameter to (da) diameter. Prove that the
error involved in using the mean diameter to calculate the Young's modulus is
(100/6) percent.

Problem 5. A round steel rod supported in a recess is surrounded by a co-axial brass


tube as shown in Fig. 5. The level of the upper end of the rod is 0.08 mm below that
of the tube. Determine
(i) the magnitude of the maximum permissible axial load which can be applied to a
rigid plate resting on the top of the tube, the permissible values of the compressive
stresses are 105 MPa for steel and 75 MPa for brass
(ii) the amount by which the tube is shortened by a load if the compressive stresses in
the steel and the brass are the same Take Es = 210 GPa and Eb = 105 GPa.

Problem 6. A steel sleeve of 24-mm internal diameter and 36-mm external diameter
encloses an aluminum rod of 22-mm diameter. The length of the rod is 0.4 mm longer
than that of the sleeve which is 400 mm long as shown in Fig. 5. Determine
(i) the compressive load up to which only the rod is stressed
(ii) the additional maximum load on the assembly if the permissible stresses in
aluminium and steel are 130 MPa and 175 MPa respectively
(iii) the deformation of the assembly under additional maximum load Ea=75 GPa
and Es= 205 GPa

Problem 7: Figure 7 shows an aluminium alloy bar of 700 mm length and of 1250
mm² cross-sectional area suspended from the ceiling so that it has a clearance of 0.4
mm between it and a steel bar of 250 mm length and of 2500 mm² cross-sectional
area. Find the stress in the two bars when 400 kN of load is applied at 500 mm from
the ceiling. Eal = 70 GPa and Est = 210 GPa.

Problem 8. A composite bar made up of aluminium and steel is rigidly attached to the
end supports at 60°C as shown in Fig. 8. Find the stresses in the two portions of the
bar when the temperature of the composite system falls to 20°C if (i) the ends do not
yield (ii) the ends yield by 0.25 mm. Es=200 GPa; Ea = 70 GPa

Problem 9. A composite bar of 20 mm x 20 mm cross-section is made up of three flat
bars as shown in Fig. 9. All the three bars are rigidly connected at the ends when the
temperature is 20°C. Determine
(i) the stresses developed in each bar when the temperature of the composite bar is
raised to 60°C
(ii) the final stresses in each bar when a load of 17.6 kN is applied to the composite

Problem 10. An axial load of 56 kN is applied to a bar of 36-mm diameter and 1-m
length. The extension of the bar is measured to be 0.265 mm whereas the reduction in
diameter is 0.003 mm. Calculate the Poisson's ratio and the values of the three
moduli.
