Alyssa works for an engineering firm that has been hired to design and supervise the construction of a highway bridge over a maj

or river. The bridge will be a unique design, incorporating complex designs that will likely never be duplicated. How should Alyssa deal with designing and overseeing the building of the bridge?

Answer:

I'm going to make a list of everything you need to consider for the supervision and design of the bridge.

1. the materials with which you are going to build it.

2. the length of the bridge.

3. The dynamic and static load to which the bridge will be subjected.

4. How corrosive is the environment where it will be built.

5.wind forces

6. The force due to possible earthquakes.

7. If it is going to be built in an environment where snow falls.

8. The bridge is unique,so the shape has a geometry that resists loads?.

9. bridge costs.

10. Personal and necessary machines.

11. how much the river grows

An air conditioning system operating on reversed carnot cycle is required to remove heat from the house at a rate of 32kj/s to m

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

(e) 1.64 kW

Explanation:

The Coefficient of Performance of the Reverse Carnot's Cycle is:

$COP = \frac{T_{L}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}$

$COP = \frac{293.15\,K}{308.15\,K-293.15\,K}$

$COP = 19.543$

Lastly, the power required to operate the air conditioning system is:

$\dot W = \frac{\dot Q_{L}}{COP}$

$\dot W = \frac{32\,kW}{19.543}$

$\dot W = 1.637\,kW$

Hence, the answer is E.

. Using the Newton Raphson method, determine the uniform flow depth in a trapezoidal channel with a bottom width of 3.0 m and si

Over [174]

Answer:

y ≈ 2.5

Explanation:

Given data:

bottom width is 3 m

side slope is 1:2

discharge is 10 m^3/s

slope is 0.004

manning roughness coefficient is 0.015

manning equation is written as

$v =1/n R^{2/3} s^{1/2}$

where R is hydraulic radius

S = bed slope

$Q = Av =A 1/n R^{2/3} s^{1/2}$

$A = 1/2 \times (B+B+4y) \times y =(B+2y) y$

$R =\frac{A}{P}$

P is perimeter $= (B+2\sqrt{5} y)$

$R =\frac{(3+2y) y}{(3+2\sqrt{5} y)}$

$Q = (2+2y) y) \times 1/0.015 [\frac{(3+2y) y}{(3+2\sqrt{5} y)}]^{2/3} 0.004^{1/2}$

solving for y $100 =(2+2y) y) \times (1/0.015) [\frac{(3+2y) y}{(3+2\sqrt{5} y)}]^{2/3} \times 0.004^{1/2}$

solving for y value by using iteration method ,we get

y ≈ 2.5

A fatigue test was conducted in which the mean stress was 46.2 MPa and the stress amplitude was 219 MPa.

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

a)σ₁ = 265.2 MPa

b)σ₂ = -172.8 MPa

c) $Stress\ ratio =-0.65$

d)Range = 438 MPa

Explanation:

Given that

Mean stress ,σm= 46.2 MPa

Stress amplitude ,σa= 219 MPa

Lets take

Maximum stress level = σ₁

Minimum stress level =σ₂

The mean stress given as

$\sigma_m=\dfrac{\sigma_1+\sigma_2}{2}$

$2\sigma_m={\sigma_1+\sigma_2}$

2 x 46.2 = σ₁ + σ₂

σ₁ + σ₂ = 92.4 MPa --------1

The amplitude stress given as

$\sigma_a=\dfrac{\sigma_1-\sigma_2}{2}$

$2\sigma_a={\sigma_1-\sigma_2}$

2 x 219 = σ₁ - σ₂

σ₁ - σ₂ = 438 MPa --------2

By adding the above equation

2 σ₁ = 530.4

σ₁ = 265.2 MPa

-σ₂ = 438 -265.2 MPa

σ₂ = -172.8 MPa

Stress ratio

$Stress\ ratio =\dfrac{\sigma_{min}}{\sigma_{max}}$

$Stress\ ratio =\dfrac{-172.8}{265.2}$

$Stress\ ratio =-0.65$

Range = 265.2 MPa - ( -172.8 MPa)

Range = 438 MPa

What are Tresca and Von Mises yield criteria?

elena-s [515]

Answer

For isotropic material plastic yielding depends upon magnitude of the principle stress not on the direction.

Tresca and Von Mises yield criteria are the yield model which is widely used.

The Tresca yield criterion stated that yielding will occur in a material only when the greatest maximum shear stress reaches a critical value.

max{|σ₁ - σ₂|,|σ₂ - σ₃|,|σ₃ - σ₁|} = σ_f

under plane stress condition

|σ₁ - σ₂| = σ_f

The Von mises yielding criteria stated that the yielding will occur when elastic energy of distortion reaches critical value.

σ₁² - σ₁ σ₂ + σ₂² = σ²_f
