MM222 Strength of Materials

By Hafiz Kabeer Raza

Relative end displacement

The previous examples had one
end attached to a fixed support.
In each case, therefore, the
deformation of the rod was
equal to the displacement of its
free end
What will be the of the bar of
both ends are moving?

/ = =

Example: compute, how much

point B will move downward? If
the applied load P was 10 kN.
For L = 1.0 m, A = 2.5 mm2, and
E = 200 GPa
B/A = 20 mm
A = 10 mm
So B = 30 mm

Solve the same problem for B =

10 mm upward and this time
compute the magnitude of P.

Conclusion: whatever the

configuration and design of the
structure is the deformations of
the members are consistent same
as compared to each other

Relative end displacement

In all these related problems, 1st, compute the overall deformation by
considering that opposite ends are not moving
This was the case;
For one of the components,
Both ends were moving,
Rest were moving from one end only
(ignoring the signs of the deformations, weather it is compressive or tensile)
In this case

/ = =

Another thing; making the free body diagram of the member undergoing
relative deformation, will result

If one component, for example, is under tension, the others will be under compression
And opposite is true for vice versa
But all the forces are in same direction, and these forces will be balanced by reactions at the supports

A new case of relative end displacement (Sample problem 2.2)

When there is no support/reaction
Now the forces will be opposite to each other
Here you will use a negative sign for one of the deformations.. OR

/ = + =

Sample Problem 2.2

In order to calculate the stress, We need to

find out the force on EF
Assume a force P on EF and make free body
diagram.
Compute the relative displacement in the rod
and make a relation with the deformations of
individual components
Put the formulae of individual displacements
and solve for P
0.025 = 1 + 2
2 = 7.03 E-7 P
1 = 6.41 E-7 P
P = 18.6 ksi

Static Indeterminacy
Structures for which internal forces and reactions
cannot be determined from statics alone are said
to be statically indeterminate.
A structure will be statically indeterminate
whenever it is held by more supports than are
required to maintain its equilibrium.
Redundant reactions are replaced with
unknown loads which along with the other
loads must produce compatible deformations.

Deformations due to actual loads and redundant

reactions are determined separately and then
added or superposed.
