Strain
P2.1 The compound bar shown in Figure has lengths of L1 = 1 400 mm and L2 =3 600 mm. When
load P is applied to the ends of the bar, the total elongation of the bar between ends A and C is 8
mm. In segment (2), the normal strain is measured as 1 850 .
Determine
(a) the elongation of segment (2).
(b) the normal strain in segment (1) of
the bar.
Ans: a) , b) , c)
P2.9 The 16 mm by 22 mm by 25 mm rubber blocks
shown in Figure P2.9 are used in a double-U shear
mount to isolate the vibration of a machine from its
supports. An applied load of P = 690 N causes the
upper frame to be deflected downward by 7 mm.
Determine the average shear strain and the average
shear stress in the rubber blocks.
