Explanation:
Precision machining is a subtractive process used in cases where material needs to be removed from a raw product to create the finished product. Precision machining can be used to create a wide variety of products, items, and parts for any number of different objects and materials. These parts usually require tight tolerances variation from nominal dimensions and from part to part, which means that there is not much room for error in the production of the piece. Repeatability and well-controlled tolerances are hallmarks of precision machining. Components, parts and finished durable products that are designed to maintain extremely tight tolerance margins and a high degree of durability are essential and common drivers for utilization of precision machining. For example, parts that need to work together as part of a machine may need to always align within a certain margin of 0.01mm to 0.05mm. Precision engineering and machining help to ensure these parts can not only be made precisely but can be produced with this level of accuracy over and over again.
Answer:
a) 0.4393 mm
b) -0.141 mm
Explanation:
Cylindrical bar : Diameter = 20.3 mm , Length = 205 mm
Force that deforms bar of metal = 46400 N
elastic modulus = 66.9 GPa
Poisson's ratio ( u ) = 0.32
A) Determine the amount by which this specimen will elongate in the direction of applied stress
dl = 
where P = 46400 N
L = 205 mm
A =
= 323.65
E = 66.9 GPa
dl = ( 46400 * 205 ) / ( 323.65 * 66.9 * 10^3 ) = 0.4393 mm
B) determine the change in diameter of the specimen
change in diameter( compressed due to elongation in length )
= - u * dl
= - 0.32 * 0.4393
= -0.141 mm
