At room temperature (200C) a 0.5-mm gap
exists between the ends of the rods shown.
At a later time when the temperature has
reached 140OC, determine (a) the normal
stress in the aluminum rod, (b) the change in
length of the aluminum rod. (c) If the
temperature is allowed to go up continuously,
which rod would fail first? At what
temperature would failure occur? Given the
ultimate stress (in compression) for steel is
500 MPa for steel and 350 MPa for aluminum
(Typo in figure: Coefficient of thermal
expansion for aluminum is 23 x 10-6/oC).

He plans to jam a bullet against an aluminum rod inside a closed invar tube. When he heats the tube, the rod will expand more than the tube and a verystrong force will build up. Then, by a method yet to be determined, he will open the tube in a split second and let the force of the rod launch the bullet at very high speed.
