2.1 When an axial load is applied to the

2.2 A rigid steel bar is supported by three rods, as
shown in Fig. P2.2. There is no strain in the rods before
the load P is applied. After load P is applied, the
normal strain in rod (2) is 1,080 in./in. Assume initial
rod lengths of L1 = 130 in. and L2 = 75 in. Determine:
(a) the normal strain in rods (1).
(b) the normal strain in rods (1) if there is a 1/32-in. gap
in the connections between the rigid bar and rods
(1) at joints A and C before the load is applied.

in the connection between the rigid bar and rod (2)
at joint B before the load is applied.
Fig. P2.2
Solution
(a) From the normal strain in rod (2) and its length, the deformation of rod (2) can be calculated:
6
2 2 2 (1,080 10 )(75 in.) 0.0810 in.L
Since rod (2) is assumed to be connected to the rigid bar with a perfect connection, the rigid bar must
move downward by an amount equal to the deformation of rod (2); therefore,
2 0.0810 in. (downward)Bv
By symmetry, the rigid bar must remain horizontal as it moves downward, and thus, vB = vA = vC. Rods
(1) are connected to the rigid bar at A and C, and again, perfect connections are assumed. The
deformation of rod (1) must be equal to the deflection of joint A (or C); thus, 1 = 0.0810 in. The normal
strain in rods (1) can now be calculated as:
11

0.0810 in.0.0006231 in./in.
130 in.623 μin./in.
L Ans.
(b) We can assume that the bolted connection at B is
perfect; therefore, vB = 0.0810 in. (downward).
Further, the rigid bar must remain horizontal as it
deflects downward by virtue of symmetry.
Therefore, the deflection downward of joints A and C
is still equal to 0.0810 in.
What effect is caused by the gap at A and C? When
joint A (or C) moves downward by 0.0810 in., the
first 1/32-in. of this downward movement does not
stretch rod (1)—it just closes the gap. Therefore, rod
(1) only gets elongated by the amount

(c) The gap is now at joint B. We know the strain
in rod (2); hence, we know its deformation must
be 0.0810 in. However, the first 1/32-in. of
downward movement by the rigid bar does not
elongate the rod—it simply closes the gap. To
elongate rod (2) by 0.0810 in., joint B must move
down:

2.3 A rigid steel bar is supported by three rods, as
shown in Fig. P2.3. There is no strain in the rods
before the load P is applied. After load P is
applied, the normal strain in rods (1) is 860 m/m.
Assume initial rod lengths of L1 = 2,400 mm and L2
= 1,800 mm. Determine:
(a) the normal strain in rod (2).
(b) the normal strain in rod (2) if there is a 2-
mm gap in the connections between the rigid
bar and rods (1) at joints A and C before the
load is applied.
(c) the normal strain in rod (2) if there is a 2-
mm gap in the connection between the rigid bar
and rod (2) at joint B before the load is applied. Fig. P2.3
Solution
(a) From the normal strain in rod (1) and its length, the deformation of rod (1) can be calculated:
6
1 1 1 (860 10 )(2,400 mm) 2.064 mmL
Since rod (1) is assumed to be connected to the rigid bar with a perfect connection, the rigid bar must
move downward by an amount equal to the deformation of rod (1); therefore,
1 2.064 mm (downward)A Cv v
By symmetry, the rigid bar must remain horizontal as it moves downward, and thus, vB = vA = vC. Rod
(2) is connected to the rigid bar at B, and again, a perfect connection is assumed. The deformation of
rod (2) must be equal to the deflection of joint B; thus, 2 = 2.064 mm. The normal strain in rod (2) can
now be calculated as:

mL Ans.
(b) We know the strain in rod (1); hence, we know its
deformation must be 2.064 mm. However, the joints
at A and C are not perfect connections. The first 2
mm of downward movement by the rigid bar does not
elongate rod (1)—it simply closes the gap. To
elongate rod (1) by 2.064 mm, joint A must move
down:
1 2 mm 2.064 mm 2 mm 4.064 mmAv
By symmetry, the rigid bar remains horizontal;
therefore, vB = vA = vC. The joint at B is assumed to be
perfect; thus, any downward movement of the rigid
bar also elongates rod (2) by the same amount:
2 4.064 mmBv
and the normal strain in rod (2) is:

(c) We now assume that the bolted connection at A
(or C) is perfect; therefore, the rigid bar deflection
as calculated in part (a) must be vA = 2.064 mm
(downward). Further, the rigid bar must remain
horizontal as it deflects downward by virtue of
symmetry; thus, vB = vA = vC. Therefore, the
deflection downward of joint B is vB = 2.064 mm
What effect is caused by the gap at B? When joint
B moves downward by 2.064 mm, the first 2 mm
of this downward movement does not stretch rod

2.4 A rigid bar ABCD is supported by two bars as
shown in Fig. P2.4. There is no strain in the
vertical bars before load P is applied. After load P

m/m. Determine:
(a) the normal strain in rod (2).
(b) the normal strain in rod (2) if there is a 1-mm

(b) The 1-mm gap at C doesn’t affect rod (1);
therefore, 1 = −0.5130 mm. The rigid bar
deformation diagram is unaffected; thus, vB =

The rigid bar must move downward 1 mm at C

2.8 A steel cable is used to support an elevator cage at the bottom of a 2,000-ft deep mineshaft. A
uniform normal strain of 250 in./in. is produced in the cable by the weight of the cage. At each point,
the weight of the cable produces an additional normal strain that is proportional to the length of the cable
below the point. If the total normal strain in the cable at the cable drum (upper end of the cable) is 700
in./in., determine
(a) the strain in the cable at a depth of 500 ft.
(b) the total elongation of the cable.
Solution
Call the vertical coordinate y and establish the origin of the y
axis at the lower end of the steel cable. The strain in the cable
has a constant term (i.e., = 250 ) and a term (we will call it
k) that varies with the vertical coordinate y.

2.9 The 16 × 22 × 25-mm rubber blocks shown
in Fig. P2.9 are used in a double U shear mount
to isolate the vibration of a machine from its
supports. An applied load of P = 690 N causes
the upper frame to be deflected downward by 7

apply here!
The applied load of 690 N is
carried by two blocks; therefore,
the shear force applied to one

Before deformation, the angle of the plate at

Determine the shear strain xy at P.

Solution
Before deformation, the angle of the plate at P

2.14 A thin polymer plate PQR is deformed
so that corner Q is displaced downward 1.0
mm to new position Q’ as shown in Fig.
P2.14. Determine the shear strain at Q’
associated with the two edges (PQ and QR).

Solution
Before deformation, the angle of the plate at Q was 90° or

after deformation. The difference between these angles is
the shear strain.
