ANSWER:

Problem 4-3

The composite shaft, consisting of aluminum, copper, and steel sections, is subjected to the loading shown. Determine the displacement of end A with respect to end D and the normal stress in each section. The cross sectional area and modulus of elasticity for each section are shown in the figure. Neglect the size of the collars at B and C .

                                                              Step by Step Solution

Step 1 of 4

Calculate the normal stress in the section AB,

  \sigma _{AB}= \frac{P_{AB}}{A_{AB}}

Here, the load acting on the section  AB is and the cross sectional area of AB is .

Substitute 2 kip for  (Consider the tensile load as possible) and 0.09  for .

  \sigma _{AB}= \frac{P_{AB}}{A_{AB}}

          =\frac{2}{0.09}

           = 22.2 ksi (Tensile)

Therefore, the normal stress in the section AB is
