The steel rod shown in Figure, has a diameter of 10 mm. It is fixed to the wall at A, and before it is loaded, there
is a gap of 0.2 mm between the wall at B and the rod. Determine the reactions on the rod if it is subjected to an
axial force of P = 20 kN. (Neglect the size of the collar at C). Take Est = 200 GPa.
Solution:
NOTE:
Since the answer for FB is positive, indeed end B contacts the wall at B as originally assumed. If FB were a
negative quantity, the problem would be statically determinate, so that FB = 0 and FA = 20 kN.
EXAMPLE 2
The three steel bars shown in the Figure, are pin connected to a rigid member. If the applied load on the member is 15
kN, determine the force developed in each bar. Bars AB and EF each have a cross-sectional area of 50 mm2, and bar
CD has a cross-sectional area of 30 mm2.
Solution:
Solving Eqs. 1–3 simultaneously yields:

• Three equally spaced rods in the same vertical plane support a rigid
bar AB. Two outer rods of brass each 600mm long & 25mm diameter.

• Determine the forces in bars due to an applied load of 120KN through
the midpoint of the bar. The bar remains horizontal after the
application of load. Take 𝐸𝑠 /𝐸𝑏 =2
• Solution-
• As the bar remains the horizontal position after the application of load
• From the equation of compatibility∆𝑏 = ∆𝑠

Problem
• A horizontal rigid bar AB weighing 200KN is hung by three vertical
rods each of 1m length & 500 𝑚𝑚2 in c/s. The central rod is of steel &
the outer rod is copper. If the temperature rise is 40℃,estimate the
load carried by each rod & by how much the load will descend.
• 𝐸𝑠 =200GPa &𝐸𝑐 =100GPa,∝𝑠 = 1.2 × 10−5 /℃,∝𝑐 ==1.8 × 10−5 /℃
• What should be the temperature rise if the entire load of 200KN is to
be carried by steel rod alone?
