Exercise 10

The document presents a problem involving the deflections of a rigid bar supported by two links under axial loading. It details the calculations for the deflections at points B, D, and E, using principles of mechanics and material properties. The final results indicate that B experiences a contraction of 514 μm, D has a downward deflection of 0.3 mm, and E has a downward deflection of 1.93 mm.

DEFORMATIONS OF MEMBERS UNDER

AXIAL LOADING
Sample problem 8:

The rigid bar 𝐵𝐷𝐸 is supported by two links 𝐴𝐵 and 𝐶𝐷. Link 𝐴𝐵 is made of aluminum 𝐸 =
70 𝐺𝑃𝑎 and has a cross-sectional area of 500 𝑚𝑚2; link 𝐶𝐷 is made of steel (𝐸 = 200 𝐺𝑃𝑎)
and has a cross-sectional area of 600 𝑚𝑚2.
For the 30 𝑘𝑁 force shown, determine the deflection (a) of 𝐵, (b) of 𝐷, (c) of 𝐸
Some guidelines:
-Identify the compression and tension on this structure
-Three bars to isolate (BDE), (AB) and (CD)
-Forces acting at B and D (on the bar BDE) are also internal
Internal forces in bars AB and CD successively
-Question C use Thales theorem

Solution:

In order to accomplish this study, three free body diagrams are to be realized for the bar BDE, the bar
AB and the bar CD.

Bar BDE:

𝜮MB=0 -30. 0,6+FCD. 0,2=0

FCD=+90kN + +

𝜮MD=0 -30. 0,4-FAB. 0,2=0

FAB=-60kN

The force on D is tension force, on B is compressive force.

The element BDE is maintained from B and D with upward forces. If we remove bars AB and CD, the
BDE will fall, from where the upward sense of forces FAB and FCD

Deflection of B

The bar BDE applies a compressive force on B. The force to be used in the deflection computing is P=-
60kN

𝑃𝐿 −60.103 .0.3
We have then: 𝛿𝐵 = 𝐴𝐸 = 500.10−6 .70.109 = −514. 10−6 𝑚 or 𝛿𝐵 = 514. 10−6 𝑚 ↑
The negative sign indicates a contraction at B of the bar AB

Deflection of D

The bar BDE applies a tension on the bar CD, we have P=90kN

𝑃𝐿 90.103 .0.4
WE have then: 𝛿𝐷 = 𝐴𝐸 = 600.10−6 .200.109 = 0,3 𝑚𝑚 or 𝛿𝐷 = 0,3 𝑚𝑚 ↓

Deflection of E

Remarque: only the absolute values of deflections will be considered in the drawing with their sense,
it is quite enough!!

We place the found deflections of B and D in a graphic.

We denote 𝐵′ and 𝐷 ′ as the displaced points of B and D respectively

By handling these deflections and the known distances, We can write:

From one side, using equalities of tangents of angles, we have:


𝐵𝐵′ 𝐷𝐷 ′
tan 𝛽 = =
𝐵𝐻 𝐻𝐷
𝐵𝐵′ 𝐵𝐻
It is then: =
𝐷𝐷 ′ 𝐻𝐷
0.514 𝑚𝑚 200𝑚𝑚 − 𝑥
=
0.3 𝑚𝑚 𝑥

𝑥 = 73.7 𝑚𝑚
From the other side:
𝐸𝐸 ′ 𝐷𝐷 ′
tan 𝛽 = =
𝐻𝐸 𝐻𝐷
𝐸𝐸 ′ 𝐻𝐸
We have then: 𝐷𝐷 ′
= 𝐻𝐷

𝛿𝐸 400𝑚𝑚 + 73.7𝑚𝑚
=
0.3 𝑚𝑚 73.7 𝑚𝑚
𝛿𝐸 = 1.93 𝑚𝑚 (Downward)
