1) a) For the given compound bar in Figure 1, find stress in each segment if P = 10 kN. Also
determine the total axial deformation if E Al = 70 GPa, Est = 205 GPa and EBronze = 85 GPa.
Figure 1.
b) Find the force ‘P’ to be applied at ‘C’ for the compound bar shown in Figure 2 to satisfy
equilibrium. All the bars are circular.
Figure 2.
c) A brass core is fit into a aluminum tube as shown in Figure 3. If P = 45 kN, find the
stresses in aluminum and brass. Take EAl = 70 GPa and EBr = 105 GPa.

2) a) Find the maximum load ‘P’ that can be safely applied so that the working stresses are not
exceeded for the given system in Figure 5.

b) A hollow steel tube with an inside diameter of 80 mm must carry an axial tensile load of 330
kN. Determine the smallest allowable outside diameter of the tube if the working stress is 110
MN/m2. (Hint: 1 MN = 106 N)
3) Find the displacement of ‘C’ if the bar AB was to remain flat (no tilting), assuming P = 50 kN.

it (Figure 6), If, E = 70 GPa and v = 0.35, determine
(i) change in diameter, δd (ii) Modulus of rigidty, G (iii) Volumetric strain, ε v
(iv) Bulk modulus, k

of 25 mm diameter and 3m long. Assuming E = 200 GN/m2, calculate the instantaneous
stress and strain.
