Practice Problem: Large-Particle CompositesThe mechanical properties of a metal may be improved by incorporating fine particles

of its oxide. Given that the moduli of elasticity of the metal and oxide are, respectively, 60 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 33 vol% of oxide particles.

Answer: (a). Ec(μ) = 165.6 GPa

(b). Ec(∝) = 83.09 GPa

Explanation:

this is quite straightforward, so we will go step by step.

from the data we have that,

Moduli of elasticity of the metal -(Em) is 60 Gpa

Moduli of elasticity of oxide is (Ep) is 380 Gpa

volume Vp = 33% = 0.33

(a). To solve the upper bound-modulus of the elasticity is calculate thus;

Ec (μ) = EmVm + EpVp ----------------(1)

where E rep the modulus of elasticity

v rep the volume fraction

c rep the composite

Vm = 100% - Vp

Vm = 100% - 33% = 67%

Vm = 0.67

substituting the valus of Em, Vm, Ep, Vp from equation (1) we have;

Ec(μ) = (60×0.67) + (380×0.33)

Ec(μ) = 40.2 + 125.4 = 165.6 GPa

Ec(μ) = 165.6 GPa

(b). The lower bound modulus of elasticity can be calculated thus;

Ec(∝) = EmVp / EpVm + EmVp -------------- (2)

substituting values Em,Vm,Ep,Vp.

Ec(∝) = 60×30 / (380×0.67) + (60 ×0.33)

Ec(∝) = 22800 / 254.6 + 19.8 = 83.09 GPa

Ec(∝) = 83.09 GPa

Two vertical, parallel clean glass plates are spaced a distance of 2mm apart. if the plates are placed in water, how high will t

Ulleksa [173]

Answer with Explanation:

The capillary rise in 2 parallel plates immersed in a liquid is given by the formula

$h=\frac{2\sigma cos(\alpha )}{\rho gd}$

where

$\sigma$ is the surface tension of the liquid

$\alpha$ is the contact angle of the liquid

$\rho$ is density of liquid

'g' is acceleratioj due to gravity

'd' is seperation between thje plates

Part a) When the liquid is water:

For water and glass we have

$\sigma =7.28\times 10^{-2}N/m$

$\alpha =0$

$\rho _{w}=1000kg/m^3$

Applying the values we get

$h=\frac{2\times 7.28\times 10^{-2}cos(0)}{1000\times 9.81\times 2\times 10^{-3}}=7.39mm$

Part b) When the liquid is mercury:

For mercury and glass we have

$\sigma =485.5\times 10^{-3}N/m$

$\alpha =138^o$

$\rho _{w}=13.6\times 10^{3}kg/m^3$

Applying the values we get

$h=\frac{2\times 485.5\times 10^{-3}cos(138)}{13.6\times 1000\times 9.81\times 2\times 10^{-3}}=-2.704mm$

The negative sign indicates that there is depression in mercury in the tube.

3. In the text, we described a multithreaded file server, showing why it is better than a single-threaded server and a finite-st

NemiM [27]

Answer and Explanation:

• 1 thread awaits the incoming request

• 1 thread responds to the request

• 1 thread reads the hard disk

A multithreaded file server is better than a single-threaded server and a finite-state machine server because it provides better response compared to the rest and can make use of the shared Web data.

Yes, there are circumstances in which a single-threaded server might be better. If it is designed such that:

- the server is completely CPU bound, such that multiple threads isn't needed. But it would account for some complexity that aren't needed.

An example is, the assistance number of a telephone directory (e.g 7771414) for an community of say, one million people. Consider that each name and telephone number record is sixty-four characters, the whole database takes 64 MB, and can be easily stored in the server's memory in order to provide quick lookup.

NOTE:

Multiple threads lead to operation slow down and no support for Kernel threads.

*3–32. The rubber block is subjected to an elongation of 0.03 in. along the x axis, and its vertical faces are given a tilt so t

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Rubber block is not shown. I have attached an image of it.

Answer:

A) ε_x = 0.0075

B) ε_y = 0.00375

C) γ_xy = 0.0122 rad

Explanation:

We are given;

δ = 0.03 in

L = 4 in

ν_r = 0.5

θ = 89.3° = 89.3π/180 rad

Let's calculate ε_x in the direction of axis x

Thus, ε_x = δ/L = 0.03/4 = 0.0075

Let's calculate ε_y in the direction of axis y;

ε_y = v•ε_x = 0.5 x 0.0075 = 0.00375

Now, shear strain is angle between π/2 rad surfaces at that point.

Thus,

γ_xy = π/2 - θ = π/2 - 89.3π/180

γ_xy = π(0.003889) = 0.0122 rad
