Question

The cylinder CD of the assembly is heated from \(T_{1}=30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(T_{2}=180^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) using electrical resistance. At the lower temperature \(T_{1}\) the gap between C and the rigid bar is 0.7 mm. Determine the force in rods AB and EF caused by the increase in temperature. Rods AB and EF are made of steel, and each has a cross-sectional area of \(125 \mathrm{~mm}^{2}\). CD is made of aluminum and has a cross-sectional area of \(375 \mathrm{~mm}^{2}\). \(E_{\mathrm{st}}=200\ \mathrm{GPa}\), \(E_{\mathrm{al}}=70\ \mathrm{GPa}\), \(\alpha_{\mathrm{st}}=12\left(10^{-6}\right) /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), and \(\alpha_{\mathrm{al}}=23\left(10^{-6}\right) /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).

Solution

Step 1 of 4

Initial temperature, \(\mathrm{T}_{1}=30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)

Final temperature, \(\mathrm{T}_{2}=180^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)

Gap between C and rigid bar, \(\delta=0.7\ \mathrm{mm}\)

Cross-sectional area of steel bar AB and EF,  \(A_{s t}=125\ \mathrm{mm}^{2}\)

Cross-sectional area of aluminum bar CD,  \(A_{al}=375\ \mathrm{mm}^{2}\)

Modulus of elasticity of steel, \(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{st}}=200\times10^9\mathrm{\ N}/\mathrm{m}^2\)

Modulus of elasticity of aluminum, \(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{al}}=70 \times 10^{9}\ \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\)

Coefficient of thermal expansion of steel, \(\alpha_{\text {st }}=12 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)

Coefficient of thermal expansion of aluminum, \(\alpha_{\mathrm{al}}=23 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
