1. A steel bar is placed between two rigid, unyielding walls, as shown, with only one end attached. The gap is 0.008 inches a. Calculate the temperature to close the gap. b. Calculate the stress...
A 3 m rigid bar AB is supported with a vertical translational spring at A and a pin at B The bar is subjected to a linearly varying distributed load with maximum intensity g Calculate the vertical deformation of the spring if the spring constant is 700 kN/m. (ans: 21.43 mm) 2. A steel cable with a nominal diameter of 25 mm is used in a construction yard to lift a bridge section weighing 38 kN. The cable has an...
