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,
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 .
= 22.2 ksi (Tensile)
Therefore, the normal stress in the section AB is
