Extension gives a constant stress distribution:

\[\sigma^{(N)} = \frac{N}{A}\]

This is treated in chapter 2.3 of the book Engineering Mechanics Volume 2 (Hartsuijker and Welleman, 2007).

Exercises#

Exercises 2.1-2.46, in chapter 2.9 of the book Engineering Mechanics Volume 2 (Hartsuijker and Welleman, 2007). Answers are available on this website.
