A short hollow circular steel column having wall thickness 8 mm and o...
To calculate the deformation of the column, we can use the formula for axial deformation of a column under compressive load:
δ = (P * L) / (A * E)
Where:
δ = deformation of the column
P = compressive load
L = length of the column
A = cross-sectional area of the column
E = Young's modulus of the column material
1. Find the cross-sectional area of the column:
The outer diameter of the column is given as 80 mm, and the wall thickness is 8 mm. So, the inner diameter of the column can be calculated as:
Inner diameter = Outer diameter - 2 * Wall thickness
Inner diameter = 80 mm - 2 * 8 mm = 64 mm
The cross-sectional area of the column can be calculated using the formula for the area of a hollow cylinder:
A = π * (Outer radius^2 - Inner radius^2)
A = π * ((80/2)^2 - (64/2)^2)
A = π * (40^2 - 32^2) mm^2
2. Convert the units:
The given Young's modulus, E, is in N/mm^2. To make it consistent with other units, we need to convert it to N/m^2. 1 N/mm^2 = 1 MPa = 1 x 10^6 N/m^2. Therefore, E = 2.1 x 10^5 N/mm^2 = 2.1 x 10^11 N/m^2.
3. Calculate the deformation:
Plugging the values into the formula, we get:
δ = (100 kN * 2 m) / ((π * (40^2 - 32^2) mm^2) * (2.1 x 10^11 N/m^2))
Simplifying the expression, we find:
δ = (200,000 N * 2 m) / ((π * (40^2 - 32^2) mm^2) * (2.1 x 10^11 N/m^2))
δ = (400,000 N*m) / ((π * (1600 - 1024) mm^2) * (2.1 x 10^11 N/m^2))
δ = (400,000 N*m) / ((π * 576 mm^2) * (2.1 x 10^11 N/m^2))
δ ≈ 0.526 mm
Therefore, the deformation of the column is approximately 0.526 mm. Thus, the correct answer is option 'D'.
