Deflection and Member Deformation

The document contains 6 problems involving calculations of stress, strain, deflection, and load capacity for beams and rods made of various materials under different loading conditions. The problems provide dimensional and material property information and ask for specific values to be calculated such as elongation, deflection, average stress, total deformation, and maximum permissible load. Calculations are shown using equations for stress, strain, deflection and statics principles.

Problem Number (1)

A 3-mm thick hollow polystyrene cylinder E = 3GPa and


a rigid circular plate (only part of which is shown) are used to
support a 250-mm long steel rod AB (E = 200 GPa) of 6-mm
diameter. If a 3.2KB load P is applied at B, determine (a) the
elongation of rod AB, (b) the deflection of point B, (c) the
average normal stress in rod AB.

Problem Number (2)
Two solid cylindrical rods are joined at B and loaded as
shown. Rod AB is made of steel E = 200GPa and rod BC of
brass E = 105GPa. Determine (a) the total deformation of the
composite rod ABC, (b) the deflection of point B.

Solution:
Assume that the force 40KN is directed to downward at point B

Problem Number (3)


Both portions of the rod ABC are made of an aluminum
for which E = 70 GPa. Knowing that the magnitude of P is
4KN, determine (a) the value of Q so that the deflection at A is
zero, (b) the corresponding deflection of B.

Solution:

Problem Number (4)


The rod ABC is made of an aluminum for which E =
70GPa. Knowing that P = 6KN and Q = 42 KN, determine the
deflection of (a) point A, (b) point B.

Problem Number (5)


Each of the links AB and CD is made of steel
(E = 200GPa) and has a uniform rectangular cross section of
6 * 24 mm. Determine the largest load which can be suspended
from point E if the deflection of E is not to exceed 0.25 mm.

Solution:
MB = P(375 + 250) FDC (250) = 0

Fy = FDC FBA P = 0

1.5 (200)(10)3
BA = =
(200)(10)9 (6)(24)(10)6

250 250 B
= (2.5)(1.736)(10)8 (1.5)(1.0416)(10)8

Problem Number (6)
The length of the 2-mm diameter steel wire CD has been
adjusted so that with no load applied, a gap of 1.5mm exists
between the end B of the rigid beam ACB and a contact point E.
knowing that E = 200 GPa, determine where a 20-kg block
should be placed on the beam in order to cause contact between
B and E.
