STATICALLY INDETERMINATE MEMBERS
Structure for which equilibrium equations are sufficient to obtain the solution are classified as statically determinate. But for some combination of members subjected to axial loads, the solution cannot be obtained by merely using equilibrium equations.The structural problems with number of unknowns greater than the number independent equilibrium equations are called statically indeterminate.
The following equations are required to solve the problems on statically indeterminate structure.
1) Equilibrium equations based on free body diagram of the structure or part of the structure.
2) Equations based on geometric relations regarding elastic deformations, produced by the loads.

Solution:
Case(i) : As = 4800mm2
Ac = (250×250) – 4800 = 57,700mm2
250mm

Deformation is same
(dL)s = (dL)c
(σs / Es )× Ls = (σc / Ec)× Lc
σs / 15Ec= σc/Ec
σs = 15σc
(1)
W = σs As + σc Ac
300 × 103 = 15 σc × σc× 57,700
σc = 2.31 N/mm2
σs = 15σc => 15 x 2.31 = N/mm2

7. 7
Case (ii)
W= σs As + σc Ac
600× 103 = 15 σc × As + σc Ac
600 × 103 = (15 × 4) As + 4 (250 × 250 – As)
As = 6250 mm2

(σAB / EAB) × LAB = (σCD / ECD) × LCD = (σEF / EEF) × LEF
[σAB/(200 ×103)]× 500 =[σCD /(100 ×103)] ×900= [σEF /(200× 103 )] × 600
σAB = 3.6× σCD ; σEF = 3× σCD
W = (σAB× AAB ) + (σCD ×ACD) + (σEF ×AEF)
20 × 103 = (3.6 × σCD × 100) + (σCD × 300) + (3σCD × 200)

13. 13
Solution:
Deformations are same i.e., (dL)s = (dL)cu
(σs / Es) × Ls = (σcu / Ecu )× Lcu
(σs / 2Ecu )× 200 =( σcu / Ecu )× 120
=> σ s = 1.2 σcu
Let σcu=60MPa=60N/mm2,
σs=1.2x60 = 72N/mm2 < 120N/mm2 (safe)
Safe load = W = σs× As + 2( σcu ×Acu )

The rod at B is steel, length 5m, 445mm2 c/s and Es = 200GPa. At what distance x from A, if a vertical load P = 3000N be applied if the bar remains horizontal after the load is applied. 9m 5m 3m

Deformations are same i.e., (dL)b = (dL)s
(σb / Eb )× Lb = (σs / Es )× Ls
(σb / 105) ×(3× 103) = [σs / (200 × 103)] × [5 × 103]
=> σs = 1.2 σb
W= σsAs + σbAb
3000= (1.2 σb × 445) + (σb × 1000)
σb = 1.95N/mm2
σs = 2.34N/mm2
+ve ΣMA= 0 => -(3000) (x) + (2.34 × 445) × 9000 = 0
x = mm = 3.12m from A
If the load of 3000N is kept at a distance of 3.12m from A, bar AB will remain horizontal.

(6) A mild steel bar of c/s 490mm2 is surrounded by a copper tube of 210mm2 as shown. When they are placed centrally over a rigid bar, it is found that steel bar is 0.15 mm longer. Over this unit a rigid plate carrying a load of 80 kN is placed. Find the stress in each bar, if the length of the compound bar is 1m. Take Es = 200 GPa, Ecu = 100 GPa.

17. Solution: 17 (dL)s = (dL)cu + 0.15

[σs / (200 × 103)] × = {[σcu / (100 × 103)] ×1000}
σ s = 2 σcu + 30
W = σs ×As + σcu ×Acu
80× 103 = [( 2σcu + 30)× 490] + (σcu × 210)
σcu = 54.87N/mm2
σs = (2×54.87) = N/mm2

18. Temperature Stress 18 B A L B´ P αTL
Any material is capable of expanding or contracting freely due to rise or fall in temperature. If it is subjected to rise in temperature of T˚C, it expands freely by an amount ‘αTL’ as shown in figure. Where α is the coefficient of linear expansion, T˚C = rise in temperature and L = original length.

19. 19
From the above figure it is seen that ‘B’ shifts to B' by an amount ‘αTL’. If this expansion is to be prevented a compressive force is required at B'.
Temperature strain = αTL/(L + αTL) ≈ αTL/L= αT
Temperature stress = αTE
Hence the temperature strain is the ratio of expansion or contraction prevented to its original length.
If a gap δ is provided for expansion then
Temperature strain = (αTL – δ) / L
Temperature stress = [(αTL – δ)/L] E

Temperature stress in compound bars:-
When a compound bar is subjected to change in temperature, both the materials will experience stresses of opposite nature.

As the two bars are connected together, the actual position of the bars will be at XX.
Actual expansion in material (1) = actual expansion in material (2)
α1TL – (dL)1 = α2TL + (dL)2
α1TL – (σ1 / E1) L =α2TL + (σ2 / E2) L
αT – (σ1 / E1) = α2T + σ2 / E (2)
From (1) and (2) magnitude of σ1 and σ2 can be found out.

PROBLEMS
A steel rail 30m long is at a temperature of 24˚C. Estimate the elongation when temperature increases to 44˚C. (1) Calculate the thermal stress in the rail under the following two conditions :
(i) No expansion gap provided
(ii) If a 6mm gap is provided for expansion
(2) If the stress developed is 60MPa , what is the gap left between the rails?
Take E = 200GPa, α = 18 x 10-6 /˚C

23. Solution: 23
Free expansion αTL = 18 × 10-6 ×(44-24) × 30 × 103 = 10.8mm
No expansion joints provided:-
Temperature stress = αTE
= 18 × 10-6 × 20× 200 × 103

6mm gap is provided for expansion
Temperature stress = [( αTL – δ) / L] E

When stress = 60MPa
