Problem 211

A bronze bar is fastened between a steel bar and an aluminum bar as shown in Fig. p211. Axial loads are applied at the positions indicated. Find the largest value of P that
will not exceed an overall deformation of 3.0 mm, or the following stresses: 140 MPa in
the steel, 120 MPa in the bronze, and 80 MPa in the aluminum. Assume that the
assembly is suitably braced to prevent buckling. Use E st = 200 GPa, Eal = 70 GPa, and
Ebr = 83 GPa.

Based on allowable stresses:

Steel:

Bronze:

Aluminum:

Based on allowable deformation:

(steel and aluminum lengthens, bronze shortens)

Use the smallest value of P, P = 12.8 kN

Problem 224
For the block loaded triaxially as described in Prob. 223, find the uniformly distributed
load that must be added in the x direction to produce no deformation in the z direction.

Where
x = 6.0 ksi (tension)
y = 5.0 ksi (compression)
z = 9.0 ksi (tension)

z is positive, thus positive stress is needed in the x-direction to eliminate deformation in zdirection.
The application of loads is still simultaneous:
(No deformation means zero strain)

Where
y = 5.0 ksi (compression)
z = 9.0 ksi (tension)
