Chapter 4 Problem 4-4

Question

The composite shaft, consisting of aluminum, copper, and steel sections, is subjected to the loading shown. Determine the displacement of B with respect to C. 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.

Solution

Step 1 of 4

Recall from theory that the formulas for calculating the displacement of one side of a bar with relation to the other, of a bar that has length,  are :

Or in the case that segments are not infinite, we use the formula:

Another important note is that, following the book's examples, we will write tensile forces and elongation of distances as positive and compressive forces and contracted distances as negative.
