- Homework Statement
- The rods are experience different temperature changes. Find the normal stress in rod AB.
- Relevant Equations
- Change in length of a rod due to temperature = alpha*temperature change*original length
Change in length of a rod due to a normal force: FL/AE
Now here is the part where I'm sort of stumped myself:
Could someone let me know if my reasoning is valid? The professor explained it during office hours and all I got out of that was that something cancels out and the answer is 0.
