g A steel water pipe has an inner diameter of 12 in. and a wall thickness of 0.25 in. Determine the longitudinal and hoop stress

zvonat [6]

Answer:

a) $\mathbf{\sigma _ 1 = 4800 psi}$

$\mathbf{ \sigma _2 = 0}$

b) $\mathbf{\sigma _ 1 = 6000 psi}$

$\mathbf{ \sigma _2 = 3000 psi}$

Explanation:

Given that:

diameter d = 12 in

thickness t = 0.25 in

the radius = d/2 = 12 / 2 = 6 in

r/t = 6/0.25 = 24

24 > 10

Using the thin wall cylinder formula;

The valve A is opened and the flowing water has a pressure P of 200 psi.

So;

$\sigma_{hoop} = \sigma _ 1 = \frac{Pd}{2t}$

$\sigma_{long} = \sigma _2 = 0$

$\sigma _ 1 = \frac{Pd}{2t} \\ \\ \sigma _ 1 = \frac{200(12)}{2(0.25)}$

$\mathbf{\sigma _ 1 = 4800 psi}$

b)The valve A is closed and the water pressure P is 250 psi.

where P = 250 psi

$\sigma_{hoop} = \sigma _ 1 = \frac{Pd}{2t}$

$\sigma_{long} = \sigma _2 = \frac{Pd}{4t}$

$\sigma _ 1 = \frac{Pd}{2t} \\ \\ \sigma _ 1 = \frac{250*(12)}{2(0.25)}$

$\mathbf{\sigma _ 1 = 6000 psi}$

$\sigma _2 = \frac{Pd}{4t} \\ \\ \sigma _2 = \frac{250(12)}{4(0.25)}$

$\mathbf{ \sigma _2 = 3000 psi}$

A large plate is fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 55 MPa √m (50 ksi √in.). If, during

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

0.024 m = 24.07 mm

Explanation:

1) Notation

$\sigma_c$ = tensile stress = 200 Mpa

$K$ = plane strain fracture toughness= 55 Mpa $\sqrt{m}$

$\lambda$ = length of a surface crack (Variable of interest)

2) Definition and Formulas

The Tensile strength is the ability of a material to withstand a pulling force. It is customarily measured in units (F/A), like the pressure. Is an important concept in engineering, especially in the fields of materials and structural engineering.

By definition we have the following formula for the tensile stress:

$\sigma_c=\frac{K}{Y\sqrt{\pi\lambda}}$ (1)

We are interested on the minimum length of a surface that will lead to a fracture, so we need to solve for $\lambda$

Multiplying both sides of equation (1) by $Y\sqrt{\pi\lambda}$

$\sigma_c Y\sqrt{\pi\lambda}=K$ (2)

Sequaring both sides of equation (2):

$(\sigma_c Y\sqrt{\pi\lambda})^2=(K)^2$

$\sigma^2_c Y^2 \pi\lambda=K^2$ (3)

Dividing both sides by $\sigma^2_c Y^2 \pi$ we got:

$\lambda=\frac{1}{\pi}[\frac{K}{Y\sigma_c}]^2$ (4)

Replacing the values into equation (4) we got:

$\lambda=\frac{1}{\pi}[\frac{55 Mpa\sqrt{m}}{1.0(200Mpa)}]^2 =0.02407m$

3) Final solution

So the minimum length of a surface crack that will lead to fracture, would be 24.07 mm or more.

Paint can shaker mechanisms are common in paint and hardware stores. While they do a good job of mixing the paint, they are also

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

A good design for a portable device to mix paint minimizing the shaking forces and vibrations while still effectively mixing the paint. Is:

The best design is one with centripetal movement. Instead of vertical or horizontal movement. With a container and system of holding structures made of materials that could absorb the vibration effectively.

Explanation:

First of all centripetal movement would be friendlier to our objective as it would not shake the can or the machine itself with disruptive vibrations. Also, we would have to use materials with a good grade of force absorption to eradicate the transmission of the movement to the rest of the structure. Allowing the reduction of the shaking forces while maintaining it effective in the process of mixing.

You hang a heavy ball with a mass of 42 kg from a silver rod 2.7 m long by 1.9 mm by 2.6 mm. You measure the stretch of the rod,

nadezda [96]

Answer:

Explanation:

cross sectional area A = 1.9 x 2.6 x 10⁻⁶ m²

= 4.94 x 10⁻⁶ m²

stress = 42 x 9.8 / 4.94 x 10⁻⁶

= 83.32 x 10⁶ N/m²

strain = .002902 / 2.7

= 1.075 x 10⁻³

Young's modulus = stress / strain

= 83.32 x 10⁶ / 1.075 x 10⁻³

= 77.5 x 10⁹ N/m²

A battery is connected to a resistor. Increasing the resistance of the resistor will __________. A battery is connected to a res

belka [17]

Answer: the increase in the external resistor will affect and decrease the current in the circuit.

Explanation: A battery has it own internal resistance, r, and given an external resistor of resistance, R, the equation of typical of Ohm's law giving the flow of current is

E = IR + Ir = I(R + r)........(1)

Where IR is the potential difference flowing in the external circuit and Or is the lost voltage due to internal resistance of battery. From (1)

I = E/(R + r)

As R increases, and E, r remain constant, the value (R + r) increases, hence the value of current, I, in the external circuit decreases.
