CH2 Workbench Ansys Bar 23

The document discusses the analysis of a steel rod fixed at both ends with two applied forces. It provides the solution to finding (a) the stress in each section of the rod, and (b) the horizontal displacement at points B and C. The rod has two sections, AB and BC, with different cross-sectional areas. The problem is statically indeterminate due to two unknown reactions. The displacements of each section are then calculated using the determined reactions and material properties to solve the problem.

Good Bar analysis

Ex2. The steel rod is fixed to a wall at its left end. It has two applied forces. The 3 kN force is applied at the Point B and the 1 kN force is
applied at the Point C. The area of the rod AB is AB=1000 mm2, and BC is ABC=500 mm2. Take E = 2.1105 N/mm2.
Find
(a) The stress in each section of the rod and
(b) The horizontal displacement at the points B and C.
Sol: a

Step2: section AB is separated

Internal force=FBA=4 kN
as this part should be in equilibrium
so 3kN+1kN=4kN
AB= FBA/Area=4 kN/1000 mm2=4
MPa (tensile)
lAB====0.00381 mm

Step3: section BC is separated

Internal force=FBC=1kN balancing ikN


force to the right
BC= FBC/Area=1 kN/500 mm2=2 MPa
(tensile)
lBC====0.001905 mm

Step4: By principle of superposition

l=lAB +lBC=0.00571 mm

TIP: In this example the problem was statically determinate, and the three steps of Equilibrium, Force-Deformation, and Compatibility were independent
steps. The steps are not independent when the problem is statically indeterminate, as the next example will show.

Tut 1: Tensile member of different cross-sections


(Using user defined cross-section, align cross sections, freeze
lines to apply different sections, finding support reactions.)

Sol:

Step1: Check for equilibrium as force act to the right reactions will act toward
left

RA +RC =3 kN (1)
Two variable and 1 equations so the problem is indeterminate,

Step2: section AB is separated

lAB=

Step3: section BC is separated

lBC=

Step4: As the bar is constrained so lAB=lBC

=
RA= (AAB/ABC) RC = (1000 mm2/500 mm2)RC=2 RC
RA=2 RC (2)
Putting (2) in (1)
RC=1 kN; RA=2 kN

Step5: putting the value to find lBC

lBC=== 0.001905mm
