Ex 1) A steel rod 1 m long and 20 mm x 20 mm in cross-sectional is subjected to a tensile force of 40 kN. Determine the elongation of the road, if modulus of elasticity for the rod material is 200 GPa.

Give:

          b = 20 mm

          h = 20 mm

          L = 1 m = 1 000 mm

          F = 20 kN = 40 000 N

          E = 200 GPa = 200 000 MPa

 

 

Req.:

          DL = ?

 

Solution:

 

σ = F / A

 

A = b x h = 20 x 20 = 400 mm2

 

σ = F/A = 40 000/400 = 100 MPa

 

E = σ / e

 

e = DL / L

E = σ /(DL / L) = σ L / DL

200 000 = 100 x 1 000 / DL

DL = 100 x 1 000 / 200 000 = 0.5 mm (Ans.)

Ex 2) A hollow cylinder 2 m long has an outside diameter of 50 mm and inside diameter of 30 mm. If the cylinder is carrying a load of 25 kN, find the stress in the cylinder. Also find the deformation of the cylinder, if the value of modulus of elasticity for the cylinder material is 100 GPa.

Given:

 

          L = 2 m = 2 000 mm

          D = 50 mm

          d = 30 mm

Req:

 

          σ = ?

 

          D L = ?

 

 

Solution:

 

A = (p/4) D2 – (p/4) d2 = (p/4) (D2 –d2)

σ = F/A = 25 000 / 1257 = 19.9 MPa (Ans.)

E = σ / e = σ / (D L / L) = σ L /

20 000 = 19.9 x 2 000 / D L

D L = 19.9 x 2 000 / 100 000 = 0.398 mm
