An aluminum bar 600mm long, with diameter 40mm long has a hole drilled in the center of the bar. The hole is 30mm in diameter and is 100mm long. If modulus of elasticity for the aluminum is 85GN/m2.Calculate the total contraction on the bar due to a compressive load in 180KN

Total contraction on the Bar  = 1.22786 mm

Explanation:

Given that:

Total Length for aluminum bar = 600 mm  

Diameter for aluminum bar  = 40 mm

Hole diameter  = 30 mm

Hole length = 100 mm

elasticity for the aluminum is 85GN/m² = 85 × 10³ N/mm²

compressive load P = 180 KN = 180  × 10³ N

Calculate the total contraction on the bar = ???

The relation used in  calculating the contraction on the bar is:

The relation used in  calculating the total contraction on the bar can be expressed as :

Total contraction in the Bar = (contraction in part of bar without hole + contraction in part of bar with hole)

i.e

Total contraction on the Bar =

Let's find the area of cross section without the hole and with the hole

Area of cross section without the hole is :

Using A = πd²/4

A = π (40)²/4

A = 1256.64 mm²

Area of cross section with the hole is :

A = π (40²-30²)/4

A = 549.78 mm²

Total contraction on the Bar =

Total contraction on the Bar  =

Total contraction on the Bar  = 2.117( 0.398 + 0.182)

Total contraction on the Bar  = 2.117*(0.58)

Total contraction on the Bar  = 1.22786 mm
