Study Notes
Compound Bars
- A compound bar consists of two or more bars in parallel made of different materials.
- The main idea of analysis is to apply both equilibrium and compatibility conditions for a solution.
- Equilibrium Equation: The sum of all forces acting on the bar must equal zero.
- Compatibility Equation: The strain in each bar must be equal.
Thermal Stresses
- Thermal stresses occur when a material is heated or cooled, causing it to expand or contract.
- Thermal strain is the change in length per unit length caused by a change in temperature.
- Thermal stress is the stress that exists within a material due to thermal strain.
Thermal Stress Equation
- The thermal stress equation is used to calculate the thermal stress in a material.
- 𝜎𝑇 = 𝜀𝑇 × 𝐸
- 𝜎𝑇 represents the thermal stress.
- 𝜀𝑇 represents the thermal strain.
- 𝐸 represents the modulus of elasticity.
Example 2
- A steel tube encloses a copper rod.
- At 10°C, there is no longitudinal stress.
- The temperature is raised to 200°C.
- The goal is to calculate the stresses in the steel rod and copper tube.
Why Bricks Fall
- When a brick wall is exposed to high temperatures, the steel rods embedded in the wall expand more than the bricks.
- This expansion creates tensile stresses within the steel rods, leading to a weakening of the wall.
- As the temperature continues to increase, the steel rods can eventually fail, leading to the collapse of the wall.
