An aluminum alloy cylinder (2) is clamped between rigid heads by
two steel bolts (1), as shown. The steel [E = 200 GPa;
α1 = 11.7 × 10−6/°C] bolts
have a diameter of 20 mm. The aluminum alloy [E = 70 GPa;
α2 = 23.6 × 10−6/°C] cylinder has an
outside diameter of 145 mm and a wall thickness of 7 mm. Assume
that a = 625 mm, b = 735 mm, and c = 375
mm. If the temperature of this assembly changes by ΔT =
95°C, determine
(a) the normal stress in the aluminum cylinder.
(b) the normal strain in the aluminum cylinder.
(c) the normal strain in the steel bolts.
