Deformation of compound bars under axial load

For a prismatic bar loaded in tension by an axial force P, the elongation of the bar can be determined as Suppose the bar is loaded at one or more intermediate positions, then equation (1) can be readily adapted to handle this situation

Deformation of compound bars under axial load

 

For a prismatic bar loaded in tension by an axial force P, the elongation of the bar can be determined as Suppose the bar is loaded at one or more intermediate positions, then equation (1) can be readily adapted to handle this situation, i.e. we can determine the axial force in each part of the bar i.e. parts AB, BC, CD, and calculate the elongation or shortening of each part separately, finally, these changes in lengths can be added algebraically to obtain the total charge in length of the entire bar.

 

When either the axial force or the cross - sectional area varies continuosly along the axis of the bar, then equation (1) is no longer suitable. Instead, the elongation can be found by considering a deferential element of a bar and then the equation (1) becomes i.e. the axial force Pxand area of the cross - section Ax must be expressed as functions of x. If the expressions for Pxand Ax are not too complicated, the integral can be evaluated analytically, otherwise Numerical methods or techniques can be used to evaluate these integrals.
