Q1 After a load P = 150 kN is applied to the pin connected structure as shown in Figure Q1, a
temperature increase 100oC. The thermal coefficients of expansion are 22x10-6/oC for the
aluminum alloy rod A and 12x10-6/oC for the steel rod B. The moduli of elasticity of
aluminum and steel are 75 GPa and 200 GPa respectively. The cross sectional area of
members A and B are 1000 mm2 and 500 mm2 respectively. If member CD is rigid,
(a) Determine the normal stress in bar A.
(10 marks)
(b) Determine the normal stress in bar B.
(10 marks)
(c) Determine the vertical component of the displacement of point D.
(5 marks)

Q2 (a) The cantilever beam AB as shown in Figure Q2 (a) is subjected to a uniform load
acting throughout one half of its length and a concentrated load acting at the free
end.
i. Draw the free body diagram.
ii. Calculate reactions at A.
iii. Write equations for the shear force and bending-moment for each segment of
the beam.
iv. Draw the shear and bending-moment diagrams.

(17 marks)

(b) Figure Q2 (b) shows shear force diagram for a simple beam. By assuming that no
couple act as loads on the beam,
i. Determine the loading on the beam.
ii. Draw the bending moment diagram.
