The steel rails of a railroad track are laid in the winter at a temperature of 15 degrees fahrenheit with gaps of 0.01 feet between the ends of the rails. Each rail is 33 feet long. At what temperature will the rails touch end to end? What stress will result in the rails if the temperature rises to 110 degrees fahrenheit?
Answer: 9,434.1 psi.

- 2. The tapered cylindrical bar in Fig. 2 is subjected to opposing torques T on its free ends. For the tapered section only, the angle of twist 0 can be expressed as: 32 TI(d? + d,d2 + dž) Gd d? 37n (a) Derive an expression for the effective spring constant keff for the entire bar, treating each segment as a torsional spring in series. Fig. 2 (b) For the bar shown, let; I, = 12 = 12 in., 1= 24 in., d1= 0.25 in., d2= 1 in., T = 1000 lbf-in., and G = 13.5 x 103 kpsi. Calculate the angle twist 0 for the entire bar using the expression for kef determined in (a). Verify that this value is the sum the angles of twist for each individual %3D %3D segment.arrow_forwardMechanical Engineering. Please help to solve, will upvote after.
