B1) 20 pts. The thickness of each of the two sheets to be resistance spot welded is 3.5 mm. It is desired to form a weld nugget

that is 5.5 mm in diameter and 5.0 mm thick after 0.3 sec welding time. The unit melting energy for a certain sheet metal is 9.5 J/mm3 . The electrical resistance between the surfaces is 140 micro ohms, and only one third of the electrical energy generated will be used to form the weld nugget (the rest being dissipated), determine the minimum current level required.

Answer:

minimum current level required = 8975.95 amperes

Explanation:

Given data:

diameter = 5.5 mm

length = 5.0 mm

T = 0.3

unit melting energy = 9.5 j/mm^3

electrical resistance = 140 micro ohms

thickness of each of the two sheets = 3.5mm

Determine the minimum current level required

first we calculate the volume of the weld nugget

v = $\frac{\pi }{4} * D^2 * l$ = $\frac{\pi }{4} * 5.5^2 * 5$ = 118.73 mm^3

next calculate the required melting energy

= volume of weld nugget * unit melting energy

= 118.73 * 9.5 = 1127.94 joules

next find the actual required electric energy

= required melting energy / efficiency

= 1127 .94 / ( 1/3 ) = 3383.84 J

TO DETERMINE THE CURRENT LEVEL REQUIRED use the relation below

electrical energy = I^2 * R * T

3383.84 / R*T = I^2

3383.84 / (( 140 * 10^-6 ) * 0.3 ) = I^2

therefore 8975.95 = I ( current )

All MOS devices are subject to damage from:________

Alchen [17]

Answer:

d. all of these

Explanation:

Electrostatic discharge will generally produce excess voltage in a local area that results in excessive current and excessive heat. It will blast a crater in an MOS device, or melt bond wires, or cause damage of other sorts. In short, MOS devices are subject to damage from "all of these."

A large plate is fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 78 MPa (70.98 ksi). If the plate is

Reika [66]

Answer:

minimum length of a surface crack is 15.043 mm

Explanation:

given data

strain fracture toughness K = 78 MPa

tensile stress = 345 MPa

Y = 1.04

to find out

minimum length of a surface crack

solution

we find here length of critical interior flaw from formula that is

α = $\frac{1}{\pi} (\frac{K}{\sigma Y})^2$ ....................1

put here value we get

α = $\frac{1}{\pi} (\frac{78*\sqrt{10^3} }{345*1.04})^2$

α = 15.043 mm

so minimum length of a surface crack is 15.043 mm

Murljashka [212]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

The solid rod shown is fixed to a wall, and a torque T = 85N?m is applied to the end of the rod. The diameter of the rod is 46mm .

When the rod is circular, radial lines remain straight and sections perpendicular to the axis do not warp. In this case, the strains vary linearly along radial lines. Within the proportional limit, the stress also varies linearly along radial lines. If point A is located 12 mm from the center of the rod, what is the magnitude of the shear stress at that point?

Solution :

Given data :

Diameter of the rod : 46 mm

Torque, T = 85 Nm

The polar moment of inertia of the shaft is given by :

$J=\frac{\pi}{32}d^4$

$J=\frac{\pi}{32}\times (46)^4$

J = 207.6 $mm^4$

So the shear stress at point A is :

$\tau_A =\frac{Tc_A}{J}$

$\tau_A =\frac{85 \times 10^3\times 12 }{207.6}$

$\tau_A = 4913.29 \ MPa$

Therefore, the magnitude of the shear stress at point A is 4913.29 MPa.
