Solved Problem on Strength of Materials

GATE 2013 : Mechanical Engineering

Q. A rod of length L having uniform cross-sectional area A is subjected to a tensile force P as shown in the figure below. If the Young’s modulus of the material varies linearly from E₁ to E₂ along the length of the rod, the normal stress developed at the section-SS is
