Question
The shown circular bar is fixed to the left wall. It has a diameter of 0.5 in and length of 60 in at 50 °F when it
is unloaded. There is a gap of 0.08 inches between the bar end and the right opposite wall. The bar was
simultaneously loaded axially with a load P and heated such that the temperature was raised from 50 °F to
130 °F along all the bars. The bar material has a modulus of elasticity = 15 x 10° psi and coefficient of
thermal expansion = 10.6x106 1/°F.
Determine the maximum magnitude of the load P such that the right opposite wall remains stress free.
