Strength Of Materials

  1. Consider a prismatic straight beam of length L = π m, pinned at the two ends as shown i n t he figure. The beam has a square cross-section of side p = 6 mm. The Young's modulus E = 20 GPa, and the coefficient of thermal expansion α = 3 × 10– 6 K – 1. The minimum temperature rise required to cause Euler buckling of the beam is ______ K.
    1. 1 K
    2. 3 K
    3. 4 K
    4. 2 K
Correct Option: A

Length of prismatic beam,
L = πm
Pth = Paxial

or αTEA =
π2EI
L2

⇒ 3 × 10-6 × ∆T × 6 × 6 × 10-6

∆T = 1K
