Problem 1 :
A bar of cross-sectional area 314 mm2 elongates by
0.8 mm over a length of 600 mm when subjected to a
Eng. Suzan Haj Suliman

tensile force of 12000 N. Find the Young’s modulus of


elasticity of the material of the bar.

Problem 4 :
A column 3m high has a hollow
Eng. Suzan Haj Suliman

circular cross section of external


diameter 300mm and carries an
axial load of 5000 kN. If the stress
in the column is limited to
150N/mm2 and the shortening of
the column under load must not
exceed 2mm calculate the
maximum allowable internal
diameter. Take E=200 000N/mm2.
Eng. Suzan Haj Suliman
Eng. Suzan Haj Suliman Solution:

In this problem there are two limiting criteria, one of stress and
one of change in length;
1) we shall consider the maximum allowable stress criterion first.
