Solved: The metal strap has a thickness t and width w and
Chapter 4, Problem 4-86(choose chapter or problem)
The metal strap has a thickness t and width w and is subjected to a temperature gradient T1 to T2 (T1 6 T2). This causes the modulus of elasticity for the material to vary linearly from E1 at the top to a smaller amount E2 at the bottom. As a result, for any vertical position y, measured from the top surface,E = [(E - E )>w]y + E .Determine the position d where the axial force P must be applied so that the bar stretches uniformly over its cross section.
