Piping stress analysis problem -- help please
well, hi all of you, well i am new to this forum but here is why i am here : )
the problem is:
a rod of certain length is fixed at one end, the other end of the rod is attached to a spring of stiffness k, then rod temperature is increased and the linear thermal expansion occurs in the rod, the spring on the end of the rod resists this expansion and gets compressed with a reaction force, the spring itself on the other end is attached and fixed.
please help me write the equation of forces and reactions generated in the system.
thanks,
