Question
At a temperature of 60°F, a 0.04-in. gap exists between the ends of the two bars shown. Bar (1) is an aluminum alloy [E = 10,000 ksi; v =
0.32; a = 13.4 x 10-6/°F] bar with a width of 3 in. and a thickness of 0.75 in. Bar (2) is a stainless steel [E = 28,000 ksi; v = 0.12; a = 10.1 x
10-6/°F] bar with a width of 2 in. and a thickness of 0.75 in. The supports at A and Care rigid. Determine the lowest temperature at
which the two bars contact each other.
