An engineer is designing a total hip implant. She intends to make the femoral stem out of titanium because it forms a good inter

face with bone. However, since titanium does not have optimum wear properties she intends to make the ball component out of stainless steel and attach it to the stem using a press fit. Should she be worried about corrosion? If so, what types of corrosion could take place?

Answer:

1. Yes.

2. Localized corrosion

Explanation:

Should she be worried about corrosion?

Yes, the engineer needs to be worried about corrosion as stainless steel has a lower resistance to corrosion, in other words, stainless steel corrodes faster than Titanium.

If so, what types of corrosion could take place?

The type of corrosion that takes place is called Localized corrosion. Localized corrosion occurs when a small part of a component experiences corrosion. In this case, the ball component of the femoral stem is made of stainless steel which will corrode faster than the other parts of the femoral stem which is made of Titanium.

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

\omega =\frac{24}{1.14375}=20.983\frac{rad}{s}

Explanation:

Previous concepts

Angular momentum. If we consider a particle of mass m, with velocity v, moving under the influence of a force F. The angular  momentum about point O is defined as the “moment” of the particle’s linear momentum, L, about O. And the correct formula is:

H_o =r x mv=rxL

Applying Newton’s second law to the right hand side of the above equation, we have that r ×ma = r ×F =

MO, where MO is the moment of the force F about point O. The equation expressing the rate of change  of angular momentum is this one:

MO = H˙ O

Principle of Angular Impulse and Momentum

The equation MO = H˙ O gives us the instantaneous relation between the moment and the time rate of change of angular  momentum. Imagine now that the force considered acts on a particle between time t1 and time t2. The equation MO = H˙ O can then be integrated in time to obtain this:

\int_{t_1}^{t_2}M_O dt = \int_{t_1}^{t_2}H_O dt=H_0t2 -H_0t1

Solution to the problem

For this case we can use the principle of angular impulse and momentum that states "The mass moment of inertia of a gear about its mass center is I_o =mK^2_o =30kg(0.125m)^2 =0.46875 kgm^2".

If we analyze the staritning point we see that the initial velocity can be founded like this:

v_o =\omega r_{OIC}=\omega (0.15m)

And if we look the figure attached we can use the point A as a reference to calculate the angular impulse and momentum equation, like this:

H_Ai +\sum \int_{t_i}^{t_f} M_A dt =H_Af

0+\sum \int_{0}^{4} 20t (0.15m) dt =0.46875 \omega + 30kg[\omega(0.15m)](0.15m)

And if we integrate the left part and we simplify the right part we have

1.5(4^2)-1.5(0^2) = 0.46875\omega +0.675\omega=1.14375\omega

And if we solve for \omega we got:

\omega =\frac{24}{1.14375}=20.983\frac{rad}{s}

At a point on the free surface of a stressed body, the normal stresses are 20 ksi (T) on a vertical plane and 30 ksi (C) on a ho
victus00 [196]

Answer:

The principal stresses are σp1 = 27 ksi, σp2 = -37 ksi and the shear stress is zero

Explanation:

The expression for the maximum shear stress is given:

\tau _{M} =\sqrt{(\frac{\sigma _{x}^{2}-\sigma _{y}^{2}  }{2})^{2}+\tau _{xy}^{2}    }

Where

σx = stress in vertical plane = 20 ksi

σy = stress in horizontal plane = -30 ksi

τM = 32 ksi

Replacing:

32=\sqrt{(\frac{20-(-30)}{2} )^{2} +\tau _{xy}^{2}  }

Solving for τxy:

τxy = ±19.98 ksi

The principal stress is:

\sigma _{x}+\sigma _{y} =\sigma _{p1}+\sigma _{p2}

Where

σp1 = 20 ksi

σp2 = -30 ksi

\sigma _{p1}  +\sigma _{p2}=-10 ksi (equation 1)

\tau _{M} =\frac{\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}}{2} \\\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}=2\tau _{M}\\\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}=32*2=64ksi equation 2

Solving both equations:

σp1 = 27 ksi

σp2 = -37 ksi

The shear stress on the vertical plane is zero

marishachu [46]

Answer:

hope this helps

Explanation:

answers:

1. Chemical engineering is most difficult because it's a mix of physics, chemistry and math

2. Stoichiometry is so important because it shows how materials react, interact and play off each other

3. Yes I think consumers would notice if process control standards were not met. for example medicines, when people take Tylenol or cold pills, if the amount of time it took to kick it becomes longer, people will become aware that the product is not consistent and reliable.

4. i have no idea sorry :(

5. This is explaining how there are rules and regulations to make the workplace safe. it can be accomplished by following those rules and regulations

Wewaii [24]
When a psychologist simply records the relationship between two variables without manipulating them, it is called a correlational study.

The observed relationship does not by itself reveal which variable causes the other. This is the directionally problem. Also, the relationship may be due to a third variable controlling both of the observed variables.
