A rectangular steel alloy A-36 (structural steel) plate is hanging vertically and supporting a hanging weight of 90 kN. The plate has a length of 0.5 m, a width of 75 mm, and a thickness of 6 mm. Assuming that the bar deforms elastically under this loading condition and given the elastic properties for the steel: E = 207 GPa and u = 0.30

a.) What is the final length of the bar?

b.) What are the final dimensions (width and thickness) of the plate?

c.) What is the % reduction in area?

    a) Final length of bar = 0.5 + 0.4838 * 10^-3 = 0.5004838 M

    b) Final Thickness = 6 - - 1.739 * 10^-3 mm = 5.998260mm/

    c) % Reduction in area = (450-449.7391/450) = 0.58 %.

    Explanation:

    a) Change in length = Pl / AE = 90*1000*0.5*1000/75*207*6*10^3

    = 0.4838mm Expansion.

    Final length of bar = 0.5 + 0.4838 * 10^-3 = 0.5004838 M

    b) Change in width = - μpt/AE = - (0.3*90*1000*6 / 75*207*6*10^3)

    = - 1.739 * 10^-3 mm

    Final Thickness = 6 - - 1.739 * 10^-3 mm = 5.998260mm

    c)

    New C/s area = 74.97827 * 5.998260 = 449.7391 mm^2

    % Reduction in area = (450-449.7391/450) = 0.58 %.
