An aluminum rod is securely fastened to a rigid plate that does not rotate during deformation. A gap of 0.5 mm exists between the rigid plate and the steel rod in the undeformed state. The properties of the two rods are given in Table 1. In addition to the applied load the temperature of both rods is raised by 100o. (a) Determine the movement of the rigid plate (b) The axial stress in steel. Table 1: Properties diameter mm Aluminum Steel 20 10 E GPa 70 210 /oC 22.5 12
