E = 200 GPa = 200 x 103 MPa

AAB = 1 cm2 = 100 mm2

ABC = 2 cm2 = 200 mm2

Gap(δ) = 0.75 mm

There will be no deformation in BC so,

δAB = δ

P = 75 x 200 = 15 x 103N = 15 kN

Effective length of each rod is 5 m. Threads on each rod has a pitch of 2.4 mm. Calculate the increase in tension when the turn buckle is tightened by one third of revolution. E = 208 GPa. If the temperature of the rods is increased, then at what temperature, tension in each rod is reduced to half of its magnitude. αs = 11 x 10−6/℃.
Detailed Solution for Test: Simple Stress & Strain Level - 3 - Question 18
A turn buckle is a type of nut having internal threads on two ends but in opposite directions. Ends of tie rods are inserted from both the sides as shown. By rotating the turn buckle, both the tie rods are tightened.

Length of each rod = 5 m Pitch of thread = 2.4 mm

Axial movement of rods on both the sides = 2.4/ 3 = 0.8 mm

Strain in each rod = 0.8 / 5000 = 0.16 x 10−3

A rigid bar AOB, figure, pinned at O is attached to two vertical bars of steel and brass as shown. Initially the rigid bar is horizontal and vertical rods are stress free. If the temperature of the brass bar only increased by 50℃. Then stress developed in the steel bar is __________MPa.

Neglect weight of the bars.

LB = 1, LS = 0.7 m, AS = 400 mm2,

AB = 800 mm2, αb = 22.1 x 10-6/℃,

ES = 2EB = 200 GPa.
Detailed Solution for Test: Simple Stress & Strain Level - 3 - Question 19

Free expansion of brass bar is partially prevented, because it is connected to a steel bar through a rigid bar.

Say σBT = compressive stress in brass bar due to length change

Decrease in the length of steel bar,

ls = lB

As AO = OB, (See the deformation triangles)

Say ?ST = compressive stress developed in steel bar

Compressive force in brass bar = PB

Compressive force in steel bar = PS

Moment about O

PB x 1 = PS x 1

Or

PB = PS

σBT x 800 = σST x 400 ⋯ ③

or σBT = 0.5 σST ⋯ ④

Now δlS = δlB

1.105 − 0.01 σBT = 3.5 x 10−3 σST

But σBT = 0.5 σST

Therefore 1.105 − 0.01 / 2x σST

= 3.5 x 10−3 σST 1.105

= 8.5 x 10−3 σST

σBT = 65 N/mm2 (compressive)

A rigid plate ABCD, 1 m2 is supported over four legs of equal lengths of same crosssection and same material. A vertical load 1200 N acts at point E such that

AM = LE = 0.5 m

AL = ME = 0.4 m

The reactions RA , RB , RC and RD are
Detailed Solution for Test: Simple Stress & Strain Level - 3 - Question 20
For equilibrium RA + RB + RC + RD = 1200 N ⋯ ①

ABCD is a rigid plate, under load, its plane is changed, it is not deformed. Say under load legs deform by δA , δB , δC , δD respectively.

Diagonal AC and diagonal BD remain straight. Centre of the plate lies on both diagonals AC and BD.

δO = deflection at centre of plates

Moreover within the elastic limit, deflection is proportional to the load (or reaction) so

RA + RC = RB + RD

= 1200 / 2

= 600N ⋯ ③

Now taking moments of the forces about the edge AB

1200 x ME = I x AC + RD x 1

1200 x 0.4 = RC + RD

But RC + RD = 480

Taking moments about edge AD

1200 x 0.5 = RB x 1 + RC x 1

RB + RC = 600

RB − RC = 120

RB = 360N

RC = 240N

RA = 600 − RC

RA = 600 − 240 = 360N

RB + RD = 600

RD = 600 − RB

= 600 − 360 = 240N

Finally the reactions are RA = 360N,

RB = 360N, RC = 240N, RD = 240N
