Consider a steel tube surrounding a solid aluminum cylinder, the assembly being compressed between rigid cover plates by centrally applied forces as shown in Fig. 1-15(a). The aluminum cylinder is 8 cm in diameter and the outside diameter of the steel tube is 9.2 cm. If P = 200 kN, find the stress in the steel and also in the aluminum. For steel, E = 200 GPa and for aluminum E = 80 GPa. |

Answer» Stress is defined as the restoring force set up per unit area. Strain is defined as the ratio of change in dimension to the original dimension. |
