Example 3
The steel rod has a diameter of 5 mm. It is attached to the fixed wall at A, and before it is
loaded, there is a gap between the wall at and B’ and the rod of 1 mm. Find the reactionsat
A and B’ if the rod is subjected to an axial force of P = 20 kN.Neglect the size of the collar at

Example 4
The bolt is made of 2014-T6 aluminum alloy and is tightened so it compresses a
cylindrical tube made of Am 1004-T61 magnesium alloy. The tube has an outer
radius of 10 mm, and both the inner radius of the tube and the radius of the bolt are
5 mm. The washers at the top and bottom of the tube are considered to berigid and
have a negligible thickness. Initially the nut is hand-tightened slightly; then, using a
wrench, the nut is further tightened one-half turn. If the bolt has 20 threads per inch,
determine the stress in the bolt.

From free-body diagram we have
The top of each post is displaced by an equal amount and hence,
The final position of the top of each post is equal to its displacement caused by the
temperature increase and internal axial compressive force.
