    Calculating Stress in Brass Tube and Steel Bar with Compression Load

    Hi, No its not the displacement but the internal stress in each individual member. All my lectures up to now have been on single bodies which is fairly easy; I`m just not sure how to apply the equations Stress=force/area, E=stress/strain and Strain=change in length/length to multiple bodies in...

    Calculating Stress in Brass Tube and Steel Bar with Compression Load

    Not yet.. Hi, Many thanks for the help so far. I think my problem is that all the lectures were on single body stress, I`m just not sure how to apply the formulas to a parrallell system. In other words if I've got 60kn and 2 parallell shafts do i divide the 60kn by 2 or?? This is only the...

    Calculating Stress in Brass Tube and Steel Bar with Compression Load

    Hi, Got to the last question in my mechanics problems list and just can't get it! You have a brass tube with steel bar inside. The brass tube is 400.12mm long; longer than the steel bar which is 400mm long. You have to calculate the stress in both objects when a compression load of...
