How many trips would one rubber-tired Herrywampus have to make to backfill a space with a geometrical volume of 5400 cubic yard?

The maximum capacity of the machine is 30 cubic yard (heaped), or 40 tons. The material is to be compacted with a shrinkage of 25% (relative to bank measure) and has a swell factor of 20% (relative to bank measure). The material weighs 3,000 lb/cu yd (bank). Assume that the machine carries its maximum load on each trip. Check by both weight and volume limitations

Answer:

If analyzed by volume capacity, more trips are needed to fill the space, thus the required trips are 288

Explanation:

a) By volume.

The shrinkage factor is:

\frac{5400cu-yd}{1-0.25} =7200cu-yd

The volume at loose is:

V_{loose} =V_{bank} (1+swell-factor)=7200(1+0.2)=8640cu-yd

If the Herrywampus has a capacity of 30 cubic yard:

\frac{8640cu-yd}{30cu-yd/trip} =288trip

b) By weight

The swell factor in terms of percent swell is equal to:

pounds-per-cubic-yard-loose=\frac{pounds-per-cubic-yard-bank}{\frac{percent-swell}{100}+1 }

pounds-per-cubic-yard-loose=\frac{3000}{\frac{20}{100} +1} =2500lb/cu-yd

The weight of backfill is:

8640cu-yd*2500\frac{lb}{cu-yd} *\frac{1ton}{2000lb} =10800ton

The Herrywampus has a capacity of 40 ton:

\frac{10800}{40ton/trip} =270trip

If analyzed by volume capacity, more trips are needed to fill the space, thus the required trips are 288

What impact does modulus elasticity have on the structural behavior of a mechanical design?
devlian [24]

Answer with Explanation:

The modulus of elasticity has an profound effect on the mechanical design of any machine part as explained below:

1) Effect on the stiffness of the member: The ability of any member of a machine to resist any force depends on the stiffness of the member. For a member with large modulus of elasticity the stiffness is more and hence in cases when the member has to resist a direct load the member with more modulus of elasticity resists the force better.

2)Effect on the deflection of the member: The deflection caused by a force in a member is inversely proportional to the modulus of elasticity of the member thus in machine parts in which we need to resist the deflections caused by the load we can use materials with greater modulus of elasticity.

3) Effect to resistance of shear and torque: Modulus of rigidity of a material is found to be larger if the modulus of elasticity of the material is more hence for a material with larger modulus of elasticity  the resistance it offer's to shear forces and the torques is more.

While designing a machine element since the above factors are important to consider thus we conclude that modulus of elasticity has a profound impact on machine design.
