Question

An aluminum rod is made in the form of a hollow square tube, 2.25 in outside, with a wall thickness of 0.120 in. Its length is 16.0 in. What axial compressive force would cause the tube to shorten by 0.004 in? Compute the resulting compressive stress in the aluminum. Show actions in a scaled drawing.

Step 1

- The outer side length is 2.25 inches. - The wall thickness is 0.120 inches. - Inner side length = Outer side length - 2 × Wall thickness = 2.25 - 2 × 0.120 = 2.01 inches. Show more…
