Axial Load

When a bar of the uniform cross-section is acted by a load, such that the load acts along the longitudinal axis of the bar, such kinds of loadings are known as axial loadings. In general terms, a load is an external force acting on a component. An axial load acts perpendicular to the geometric cross-section of the component. Based on the direction of the application of the load, an axial load can be tensile or compressive. The analysis of bodies under the action of axial loads is generally studied under the branch of mechanics, known as statics.

Wires B and C are attached to a support at the left-hand end and to a pin-supported rigid bar at the right-hand end (see figure). Each wire has cross-sectional area A =0.03 in2 and modulus of elasticity E = 30 X 106 psi. When the bar is in a vertical position, the length of each wire is L = 80 in. However, before being attached to the bar, the length of wire B was 79.98 in. and wire C was 79.95 in. Find the tensile forces TBand Tc in the wires under the action of a force P = 700 lb acting at the upper end of the bar.
The hoisting arrangement for lifting a large pipe is shown in the figure. The spreader is a steel tubular section with outer diameter 70 mm and inner diameter 57 mm. Its length is 2.6 m, and its modulus of elasticity is 200 GPa.

(b) If the cable is rated for a maximum load of 70 kN, that is the factor of safety with respect to failure of the cable?

(a) What percent of the total load is now carried by the middle cable? (b) What are the stresses crvand 0 in the middle and outer cables, respectively? Note: See Table 2-1 in Section 2.2 for properties of cables.
A long, slender bar in the shape of a right circular cone with length L and base diameter d hangs vertically under the action of its own weight (see figure).

(Assume that the angle of taper of the cone is small.)
A vertical post AB is embedded in a concrete foundation and held at the top by two cables (see figure). The post is a hollow steel tube with modulus of elasticity 200 GPa, outer diameter of 40 mm, and thickness of 5 mm. The cables are tightened equally by turnbuckles.

A horizontal rigid bar ABC is pinned at end A and supported by two cables at points B and C. A vertical load P = 10 kN acts at end C of the bar. The two cables are made of steel with a modulus elasticity E = 200 GPa and have the same cross-sectional area. Calculate the minimum cross-sectional area of each cable if the yield stress of the cable is 400 MPa and the factor of safely is 2.0. Consider load P only; ignore the weight of bar ABC and the cables.

At some instant, wire I is at an angle a = 22° to the horizontal and wire 2 is at angle fi = 40°. Wires I and 2 have diameters of 30and 35 mils, respectively.

(b) If the stresses in wires 1 and 2 must be the same, what is the required diameter of wire 1 ? (c) To stabilize the camera for windy outdoor conditions, a third wire is added (see figure part b).
