Exercise 1

A steel bar with E=200GPa and a Poisson's ratio of 0.3 is loaded as shown with a distributed load totaling 50,000 N applied to the right end. The bar is 10 mm thick, and other dimensions are give in millimeters.

a. Consider the left edge to be fixed and apply the load to the right end. Find the maximum stress and maximum displacement in the bar.

b. Create a path along where the dashed line is sown and record the maximum and minimum stress along this path.

c. Discuss how the maximum stress and maximum displacement change when the radius is reduced.
