1. The A-36 steel bar shown in the figure is heated from $T_1$ = 20C to $T_2$ = 100C. Young's modulus and the thermal expansion coefficient of A-36 steel are 200 GPa and $11.7 \times 10^{-6}$/C, respectively. Determine the thermal stress developed in the bar.

Step 1
- T1 = 20 °C, T2 = 100 °C, so ΔT = T2 − T1 = 80 °C. - Young's modulus E = 200 GPa = 200 × 10^9 Pa. - Coefficient of thermal expansion α = 11.7 × 10^−6 /°C. - The bar is restrained so its axial expansion is prevented (fixed at both ends), so a thermal stress Show more…

The A-36 steel bar shown in Fig is constrained to just fit between two fixed supports when T1 = 60°F. If the temperature is raised to T2 = 120°F, determine the average normal thermal stress developed in the bar. 0.75 in. 0.75 in. A 2.5 ft B (a)

A steel tie bar of length 1 m and diameter of 30 mm is tensioned to carry a load of 180 kN at a temperature of 20°C. What is the stress in the bar and its change in length when tensioned? What will be the stress in the bar if the temperature rises to 80°C and any change in length is prevented? (Take E=200 GPa and α = 12 x 10^-6 °C^-1)

A steel bar of 2 m length is fixed at both ends at 20°C. The coefficient of thermal expansion is 11 x 10^-6/°C and the modulus of elasticity is 2 x 10^6 kg/cm^2. If the temperature is changed to 18°C, then the bar will experience a stress of A. 22 kg/cm^2 (tensile) B. 22 kg/cm^2 (compressive) C. 44 kg/cm^2 (compressive) D. 44 kg/cm^2 (tensile)
