The mechanical properties of a metal may be improved by incorporating fine particles of its oxide. Given that the moduli of elas

ticity of the metal and oxide are, respectively, 68 GPa and 380 GPa, what is the
(a) upper-bound, and
(b) lower-bound modulus of elasticity values (in GPa) for a composite that has a composition of 63 vol% of oxide particles.

Answer:

a) 254.6 GPa

b) 140.86 GPa

Explanation:

a) Considering the expression of rule of mixtures for upper-bound and calculating the modulus of elasticity for upper bound;

Ec(u) = EmVm + EpVp

To calculate the volume fraction of matrix, 0.63 is substituted for Vp in the equation below,

Vm + Vp = 1

Vm = 1 - 0.63

Vm = 0.37

In the first equation,

Where

Em = 68 GPa, Ep = 380 GPa, Vm = 0.37 and Vp = 0.63,

The modulus of elasticity upper-bound is,

Ec(u) = EmVm + EpVp

Ec(u) = (68 x 0.37) + (380 x 0.63)

Ec(u) = 254.6 GPa.

b) Considering the express of rule of mixtures for lower bound;

Ec(l) = (EmEp)/(VmEp + VpEm)

Substituting values into the equation,

Ec(l) = (68 x 380)/(0.37 x 380) + (0.63 x 68)

Ec(l) = 25840/183.44

Ec(l) = 140.86 GPa

An engineer is testing the shear strength of spot welds used on a construction site. The engineer's null hypothesis at a 5% leve
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

b) The null hypothesis should be rejected.

Explanation:

The null hypothesis is  that the mean shear strength of spot welds is at least

3.1 MPa

H0: u ≥3.1 MPa  against the claim Ha: u< 3.1 MPa

The alternate hypothesis is  that the mean shear strength of spot welds is less than 3.1 MPa.

This is one tailed test

The critical region Z(0.05) < ± 1.645

The Sample mean= x`= 3.07

The number of welds= n= 15

Standard Deviation= s= 0.069

Applying z test

z= x`-u/s/√n

z= 3.07-3.1/0.069/√15

z= -0.03/0.0178

z= -1.68

As the calculated z= -1.68  falls in the critical region Z(0.05) < ± 1.645 the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternate hypothesis is accepted that the mean shear strength of spot welds is less than 3.1 MPa

Is it possible to have a heat engine with efficiency of 100%?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Heat engines are used for converting the heat into mechanical energy which is used for doing mechanical work.

The efficiency of heat engine is the fraction of mechanical energy to the thermal energy. The efficiency can not be 100% as some of the energy always loss due to friction and motion of the body parts of the heat engine.

What affect results when there is an impact between earth and is astroids check all that apply.
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Massive destruction

Explanation:

If the asteroid collides with the ground, a massive volume of dust will be blasted into the environment. If it collides with water, the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere will rise. This would result in more rain, which would cause earthquakes and mudslides.

As the asteroid collided with the Earth, massive volumes of dust were ejected into to the atmosphere. The sun's light were stopped from entering the Earth's surface, which is terrible news for plants.

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The person responsible for the certifications could also be  criminally responsible.

Explanation:

In the text above we can notice the variation of the salmonela results tests in which implies that someone deliberately changed the certificates.

The person who emitted the certificates before the tests even been ready indicates an indirect influence on the decision, either through bribery or internal agreements, this shows that they would work in conjunction with Stewart Parnell  to release unsafe products.
