    The document contains 9 problems related to mechanics of solids involving tension and compression. Problem 1 involves determining deflections of a rigid bar supported by two links made of different materials under a tensile force. Problem 2 involves finding the maximum load that can be applied to a steel cable without exceeding its maximum stress or elongation limits. Problem 3 involves determining the total and central deformations of a vinyl specimen under tension.

    Sheet 1 - Solution
    Tension and Compression

    1. 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, and (c) of E.

    2. A The 4-mm-diameter cable BC is made of a steel with E=200 GPa. Knowing that the
    maximum stress in the cable must not exceed 190 MPa and that the elongation of the
    cable must not exceed 6 mm, find the maximum load P that can be applied as shown.

    3. The specimen shown has been cut from a 5 mm thick sheet of vinyl (E=3.1 GPa) and
    is subjected to a 1.5 kN tensile load. Determine (a) the total deformation of the
    specimen, (b) the deformation of its central portion BC.

    4. For the steel truss (E=29 × 106 GPa) and loading shown, determine the deformations
    of members AB and AD, knowing that their cross-sectional areas are 4 in2 and 2.8 in2,
    respectively.

    5. Each of the links AB and CD is made of aluminum (E =75 GPa) and has a cross-sectional
    area of 125 mm2. Knowing that they support the rigid member BC, determine the
    deflection of point E.

    6. In a standard tensile test a steel rod of 20-mm diameter is subjected to a tension force
    of 30 kN. Knowing that 𝜈 = 0.35 and E=70 GPa, determine (a) the elongation of the
    rod in a 150-mm gage length, (b) the change in diameter of the rod.

    7. A 500-mm-long, 16-mm-diameter rod made of a homogenous isotropic material is
    observed to increase in length by 300 𝜇mm, and to decrease in diameter by 2.4 𝜇mm
    when subjected to an axial 12 kN load. Determine the modulus of elasticity and
    Poisson’s ratio of the material.

    8. Knowing that the hole has a diameter of 9 mm, determine (a) the radius rf of the fillets
    for which the same maximum stress occurs at the hole A and at the fillets, (b) the
    corresponding maximum allowable load P if the allowable stress is 100 MPa.

    9. For P 5 100 kN, determine the minimum plate thickness t required if the allowable
    stress is 125 MPa.
