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
