Strength Of Materials

  1. A steel bar is held by two fixed supports as shown in the figure and is subjected to an increase of temperature ∆T = 100°C. If the coefficient of thermal expansion and Young's modulus of elasticity of steel are 11 × 10-6/°C and 200 GPa, respectively, the magnitude of thermal stress (in MPa) induced in the bar is _____.
    1. -220mPa
    2. -2190mPa
    3. 220mPa
    4. 219mPa
Correct Option: A


ε = -α∆T
σ = Eε = - 200 × 11 × 10-6 × 100 = -220mPa
