Aluminum and bronze composite member
Problem statement
An aluminum cylinder and its bronze core are subjected to an axial load P = 9 kip. Determine the normal stress in each of them, if E aluminum = 10×10³ ksi and E bronze = 15×10³ ksi.
Figure data: outer radius of 2 in, core radius of 1 in and height of 1.5 ft.
Concepts: axial load, statically indeterminate, compatibility of deformations, bronze core, normal stress
