 Consider the manner in which a rectangular bar deforms elastically when the bar is subjected to the force?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Consider a rectangular bar of length ‘l’ and subjected to a tensile force.

Civil Engineering homework question answer, step 1, image 1

If the force is tensile the length of the rectangular bar will increase. If the force is compressive the length of the rectangular bar will decrease.

The change in length can be determined using the stress-strain relation.
