Answer:

A rivet is a mechanical fastener composed of a head on one end and a cylindrical stem on another (called the tail) which has the appearance of a metal pin.

When installed the rivet is either drilled, placed or punched into a hole, afterwards the tail is then deformed, holding the rivet in place. When finished the tail has the appearance of a dumbbell shape completing the riveted joint.

Answer:

1. Az=258 lb

2. My=3440 ft lb

3. ∑Mz= 0

Explanation:

∑ Fx= Ax=0

∑ Fy= Ay=0

∑ Fz= Az-86-86-86

Az=258 lb

∑Mx=86 X 31 +Mx=0

Mx=2666 ft lb

∑My=86 X 40 +My=0

My=3440 ft lb

∑Mz= 0

A structural component in the form of a wide plate is to be fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plane-strain fracture tough

jeyben [28]

Complete question:

A structural component in the form of a wide plate is to be fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 98.9 MPa root m (90 ksi root in.) and a yield strength of 860 MPa (125,000 psi). The flaw size resolution limit of the flaw detection apparatus is 3.0 mm (0.12 in.). If the design stress is one-half of the yield strength and the value of Y is 1.0, determine whether or not a critical flaw for this plate is subject to detection.

Answer:

Since the flaw 17mm is greater than 3 mm the critical flaw for this plate is subject to detection

so that critical flow is subject to detection

Explanation:

We are given:

Plane strain fracture toughness K $= 98.9 MPa \sqrt{m}$
