A piece of corroded steel plate was found in a submerged ocean vessel. It was estimated that the original area of the plate was

16 in.2 and that approximately 3.2 kg had corroded away during the submersion. Assuming a corrosion penetration rate of 200 mpy for this alloy in seawater, estimate the time of submersion in years. The density of steel is 7.9 g/cm3.

Answer:

Time of submersion in years = 7.71 years

Explanation:

Area of plate (A)= 16in²

Mass corroded away = Weight Loss (W) = 3.2 kg = 3.2 x 106

Corrosion Penetration Rate (CPR) = 200mpy

Density of steel (D) = 7.9g/cm³

Constant = 534

The expression for the corrosion penetration rate is

Corrosion Penetration Rate = Constant x Total Weight Loss/Time taken for Weight Loss x Exposed Surface Area x Density of the Metal

Re- arrange the equation for time taken

T = k x W/ A x CPR x D

T = (534 x 3.2 x 106)/(16 x 7.9 x 200)

T = 67594.93 hours

Convert hours into years by

T = 67594.93 x (1year/365 days x 24 hours x 1 day)

T = 7.71 years

If a structure can withstand seismic stress, what is it prepared for?.
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Steel and wood

Explanation:

For a material to resist stress and vibration, it must have high ductility, which is the ability to undergo large deformations and tension. Modern buildings are often constructed with structural steel, a component that comes in a variety of shapes and allows buildings to bend without breaking.

Estimate horizontal and vertical tail sizes fo r a twin-turboprop regional transport with wing area of 40 m2, aspect ratio of 10
svetlana [45]

Answer: 0.2m sqr

Explanation:

A well behaved aircraft basically have a value of volume in horizontal and vertical area.

Volume in horizontal area (Vh) = 0.6

Volume in vertical area (Vv) = 0.05

Having known this, consider the relationship to find the vertical and horizontal tail sizes.

Vertical tail area (Sv)

Horizontal tail area (Sh)

Vh= (Sh × I) / S

Where,

I = moment

S= wing area

Sh= Horizontal tail area

Vh= Volume in horizontal area

0.6= Sh × 10/40

24= 10Sh

Sh= 24/10

Sh= 2.4 msqr

Horizontal tail area= 2.4m sqr

From the information above, we can calculate the vertical tail area.

Vertical tail area is calculated thus below:

Vv= (Sv× I) / S

Where

Vv= Volume in vertical area

Sv= Vertical tail area

I= Moment

S= Wing area

Therefore

Sv= (Vv × S) /I

Sv= (0.05×40)/10

Sv= 0.2msqr

In conclusion, the vertical tail size is 0.2msqr
