steel bar ABCD consists of three sections: AB is of 30mm diameter and 100 mm long, BC is 20 mm square and 400 mm long, and CD is of 12 mm diameter and 200mm long. The bar is subjected to an axial compressive load which induces a stress of 50 MN/m2 on the largest cross-section. Determine the total decrease in the length of the bar when the load is applied. For steel E = 210GN/m2 .

Question

steel bar ABCD consists of three sections: AB is

of 30mm diameter and 100 mm long, BC is 20 mm square

and 400 mm long, and CD is of 12 mm diameter and

200mm long. The bar is subjected to an axial compressive

load which induces a stress of 50 MN/m2 on the largest

cross-section. Determine the total decrease in the length

of the bar when the load is applied. For steel E =

210GN/m2
