No Class next week!
Will have tutorial tomorrow
Example 1
Determine the deformation of the steel
rod shown under the given loads.
E = 200 GPa
Example: Axial deformation
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.
Static Indeterminate Problems
• Structures for which internal forces and
reactions cannot be determined from statics
alone are said to be statically indeterminate.
• A structure will be statically indeterminate
whenever it is held by more supports than
are required to maintain its equilibrium.
• Redundant reactions are replaced with
unknown loads which along with the other
loads must produce compatible
deformations.
• Deformations due to actual loads and
redundant reactions are determined separately
and then added.
= L + R = 0 Superposition Method
Example
Determine the reactions at A and B for the steel
bar and loading shown, assuming a close fit at
both supports before the loads are applied.
Problems Involving Temperature Change
𝛿𝑇 = 𝐿𝛼∆𝑇 • A temperature change results in a change
𝜀𝑇 = 𝛼∆𝑇 in length or thermal strain. There is no
stress associated with the thermal strain
unless the elongation is restrained by the
supports.
• Treat the additional support as redundant
and apply the principle of superposition.

T = ( T ) L P =
AE
= coefficient of thermal expansion
• The thermal deformation and the
deformation from the redundant support
must be compatible. PL

Poisson’s Ratio: After Siméon Denis Poisson
• For a slender bar subjected to axial loading:
x
x = y = z = 0
E
• The elongation in the x-direction is
accompanied by a contraction in the other
directions. Assuming that the material is
homogeneous and isotropic (no directional
dependence),
y = z 0

Negative Poisson’s Ratio: Auxetic
• Unique class of materials that undergo transverse elongation when stretched.
• First synthetic negative Poisson’s ratio material by Prof. Rod Lakes,

• Conservation of energy vs. conservation of volume?
