06.

Define residual stress. A rigid block weighing P lbs is supported by three

bars (two aluminum bars and one steel bar).
For aluminum bars: yield stress = 48,000 psi, length = 14 in, area = 1 in 2,
Modulus of elasticity = 10106 psi.
For steel bar: yield stress = 42,000 psi, length = 10 in, area = 1.5 in 2,
Modulus of elasticity = 30106 psi.
If P is the limit load, determine the residual stresses after P is removed
Assumption: The material is elastic-plastic.
