Axial loads are applied with rigid bearing plates to the solid cylindrical rods. One load of P = 120 kN is applied to the assembly at A, two loads Q = 40 kN are applied at B, and two loads R = 160 kN are applied at C. Determine the total change in length of the assembly.L1 = 0.22 m, E1 = 190 GPa, A1 = 0.0013 m2L2 = 0.42 m, E2 = 204 GPa, A2 = 0.0004 m2L3 = 0.34 m, E3 = 104 GPa, A3 = 0.0016 m2

A load of P = 11,000 lb is applied to the connection. If the average shear stress in the bolts is limited to 27 ksi and the required factor of safety is 1.9, determine the minimum allowable bolt diameter.

If rod (1) elongates 0.359 mm and rod (2) elongates 0.473 mm, determine how far downward E moves. Let a = 0.34 m and b = 0.83 m.

If the length of a timber [E = 1,700 ksi] column cannot change by more than 0.040 in., determine the maximum load P that can be applied to the column. Let b = 4.25 in., d = 9.00 in., and L = 118 in.

If the length of a timber [E = 1,800 ksi] column cannot change by more than 0.020 in., determine the maximum load P that can be applied to the column. Let b = 4.25 in., d = 9.75 in., and L = 104 in.

If a load of P = 19 kN is applied to rod (2), determine the magnitude of the resultant force at C. Let a = 0.47 m and b = 0.73 m.

A Ro-Tel can weighs 0.72 lb and is 2.58 in. in diameter. A Libby’s can weighs 1.07 lb and is 2.94 in. in diameter. What is the largest bearing stress that occurs between the cans and the table? Assume each can has a smooth base and sits flat on the table.

If rod (1) elongates 0.352 mm and rod (2) elongates 0.358 mm, determine how far downward E moves. Let a = 0.38 m and b = 0.81 m.

A steel [E = 200 GPa; ν = 0.3; α = 11.3 ×10-6/°C] plate has a rectangular hole at its center and four circular holes at the corners. At an initial temperature of Ti = –23°C, the plate is 95 mm wide, 135 mm long, and 17 mm thick. The rectangular hole is 30 mm wide and 70 mm long. The circular holes have a diameter of 18 mm. At a final temperature of Tf = 41°C, determine the diameter of the circular holes.
