Solution:

On analysis of a steel truss due to certain loading, the internal forces are found as shown below. The cross-sectional area of all the members of the truss was 100mm2.

If the cross sectional area of member BC was increased to 1000mm2, find the internal force in member BC.

Solution:

A horizontal steel bar is held by two fixed supports and is subjected to an increase of temperature ΔT = 100°C. If the coefficient of thermal expansion and Young's modulus of elasticity of steel are 11 × 10-6/°C and 200 GPa, respectively, the magnitude of the thermal stress (in MPa) induced in the bar is:
