A large particle composite consisting of tungsten particles within a copper matrix is to be prepared. If the volume fractions of
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Upper bounds 22.07 GPa

Lower bounds 17.59 GPa

Explanation:

Calculation to estimate the upper and lower bounds of the modulus of this composite.

First step is to calculate the maximum modulus for the combined material using this formula

Modulus of Elasticity for mixture

E= EcuVcu+EwVw

Let pug in the formula

E =( 110 x 0.40)+ (407 x 0.60)

E=44+244.2 GPa

E=288.2GPa

Second step is to calculate the combined specific gravity using this formula

p= pcuVcu+pwTw

Let plug in the formula

p = (19.3 x 0.40) + (8.9 x 0.60)

p=7.72+5.34

p=13.06

Now let calculate the UPPER BOUNDS and the LOWER BOUNDS of the Specific stiffness

UPPER BOUNDS

Using this formula

Upper bounds=E/p

Let plug in the formula

Upper bounds=288.2/13.06

Upper bounds=22.07 GPa

LOWER BOUNDS

Using this formula

Lower bounds=EcuVcu/pcu+EwVw/pw

Let plug in the formula

Lower bounds =( 110 x 0.40)/8.9+ (407 x 0.60)/19.3

Lower bounds=(44/8.9)+(244.2/19.3)

Lower bounds=4.94+12.65

Lower bounds=17.59 GPa

Therefore the Estimated upper and lower bounds of the modulus of this composite will be:

Upper bounds 22.07 GPa

Lower bounds 17.59 GPa

A rectangular block of material with shear modulus G= 620 MPa is fixed to rigid plates at its top and bottom surfaces. Thelower
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

γ_{xy} =0.01, P=248 kN

Explanation:

Given Data:

displacement = 2mm ;

height = 200mm ;

l = 400mm ;

w = 100 ;

G = 620 MPa = 620 N//mm²;    1MPa = 1N//mm²

a. Average Shear Strain:

The average shear strain can be determined by dividing the total displacement of plate by height

γ_{xy} = displacement / total height

     = 2/200 = 0.01

b. Force P on upper plate:

Now, as we know that force per unit area equals to stress

τ = P/A

Also,  τ = Gγ_{xy}

By comapring both equations, we get

P/A = Gγ_{xy}   ------------ eq(1)

First we need to calculate total area,

A = l*w = 400 * 100= 4*10^4mm²

By putting the values in equation 1, we get

P/40000 = 620 * 0.01

P = 248000 N or 2.48 *10^5 N or 248 kN

What type of foundation do engineers use for a small and light building and when the load of the building is borne by columns? A
ikadub [295]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Individual footings are the commonest, and they are often used if the load of the building is borne by columns. Typically, every column will have an own footing. The footing is usually only a rectangular or square pad of concrete on which the column is erected

An ant starts at one edge of a long strip of paper that is 34.2 cm wide. She travels at 1.3 cm/s at an angle of 61◦ with the lon
ankoles [38]

Answer:

t = 30.1 sec

Explanation:

If the ant is moving at a constant speed, the velocity vector will have the same magnitude at any point, and can be decomposed in two vectors, along directions perpendicular each other.

If we choose these directions coincident with the long edge of the paper, and the other perpendicular to it, the components of the velocity vector, along these axes, can be calculated as the projections of this vector along these axes.

We are only interested in the component of the velocity across the paper, that can be calculated as follows:

vₓ = v* sin θ, where v is the magnitude of the velocity, and θ the angle that forms v with the long edge.

We know that v= 1.3 cm/s, and θ = 61º, so we can find vₓ as follows:

vₓ = 1.3 cm/s * sin 61º = 1.3 cm/s * 0.875 = 1.14 cm/s

Applying the definition of average velocity, we can solve for t:

t =\frac{x}{vx} = \frac{34.2 cm}{1.14 cm/s} =30.1 sec

⇒ t = 30.1 sec
