Textbook Solutions for Mechanics of Materials

Chapter 4 Problem 4-66

Question

The assembly consists of two posts AB and CD each made from material 1 having a modulus of elasticity of \(E_{1}\) and a cross-sectional area \(A_{1}\), and a central post EF made from material 2 having a modulus of elasticity \(E_{2}\) and a cross-sectional area \(A_{2}\). If post EF is to be replaced by one having a material 1, determine the required cross-sectional area of this new post so that both assemblies deform the same amount when loaded.

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 4 problem number 66 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The assembly consists of two posts AB and CD each made from material 1 having a modulus of elasticity of \(E_{1}\) and a cross-sectional area \(A_{1}\), and a central post EF made from material 2 having a modulus of elasticity \(E_{2}\) and a cross-sectional area \(A_{2}\). If post EF is to be replaced by one having a material 1, determine the required cross-sectional area of this new post so that both assemblies deform the same amount when loaded.
From the textbook chapter Axial Load you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
