BEE L 200

DATE:22/11/2024
Question 1:
A 70 kN compressive load is applied to a 5 cm diameter, 3 cm tall,
steel cylinder.

Calculate stress (σ), strain (ε), and deflection (ΔL).

Stress (σ):

σ=F/A

A = π × (d)^2 / 4

A = π × (0.05 m)^2 / 4 = 1.9635 × 10^-3 m^2

σ = 70 kN / 1.9635 × 10^-3 m^2 = 35,587 kPa = 354.87 MPa

Strain (ε):
ε=σ/E

E (Young's Modulus for steel) = 200 GPa = 200,000 MPa ε =


354.87 MPa / 200,000 MPa = 0.001774

Deflection (ΔL): ΔL = σ × L / E

ΔL = 354.87 MPa × 0.03 m / 200,000 MPa = 0.0532 mm

Question 2:
A prismatic bar of 10 mm diameter is subjected to different axial
forces as shown in Fig. 1.13.

Calculate the net change in length of the bar. Take E = 200


kN/mm².

Net change in length = Σ(F × L / (A × E)) A = π × (d)^2 / 4


A = π × (10m)^2 / 4 = 78.54 mm^2

ΔL_A = 50 kN × 3000m m / (78.54mm^2 × 200 kN/mm²) =


9.55mm

ΔL_B = 10 kN × 2000mm / (78.54 mm^2 × 200 kN/mm²) =


1.273mm

ΔL_C = 20 kN × 1000 / (78.54m^2 × 200 kN/mm²) = 1.273 mm

ΔL_D = 80 kN × 1000 / (78.54m^2 × 200 kN/mm²) = 5.093 mm

Net change in length = ΔL_A + ΔL_B + ΔL_C + ΔL_D = 9.55+


1.273 + 1.273 + 5.093 = 17.189 mm

Question 3:
A rod consists of three bars of unequal diameters . Their
diameters and lengths are shown in the figure. Find the stress in
each bar and the elongation of the rod. Take E = 200 kN/mm².
Bar 1: Diameter = 20 mm, Length = 1.5 m, Load = 20 kN σ = F / A

A = π × (d)^2 / 4

A = π × (0.02 m)^2 / 4 = 3.1416 × 10^-4 m^2 σ = 20 kN / 3.1416 ×


10^-4 m^2 = 63.66 MPa

Bar 2: Diameter = 40 mm, Length = 2.5 m, Load = 90 kN σ = F / A

A = π × (d)^2 / 4

A = π × (0.04 m)^2 / 4 = 1.2566 × 10^-3 m^2 σ = 90 kN / 1.2566 ×


10^-3 m^2 = 71.42 MPa

Bar 3: Diameter = 30 mm, Length = 2.0 m, Load = 60 kN σ = F / A

A = π × (d)^2 / 4
A = π × (0.03 m)^2 / 4 = 7.0686 × 10^-4 m^2 σ = 60 kN / 7.0686 ×
10^-4 m^2 = 84.82 MPa

Elongation of the rod = Σ(σ × L / E)

Elongation = (63.66 MPa × 1500mm + 71.42 MPa × 2500 m +


84.82

MPa × 2000 m) /200kN/mm²

Elongation 2.218 mm
