Question
A bar of length 50 cm, height 2 cm, width 3 cm, modulus of elasticity E = 70 GPa, Poisson’s ratio of 0.28 and bulk modulus of 62 GPa. (a) The bar is loaded along its length with a tensile force PL = 96 KN and along its width with a tensile force PW = 400 KN. Find the decrease in height and volumetric strain. (b) The bar is loaded along its length with a compressive force PL = 16 KN. Find the compressive forces along the width and height that will produce the same stress in all dimensions. Find the change in volume in this case.
