Name the main classes of polymer and define their characteristic properties

Engineering
1 answer:
Svetlanka [38]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Polymers are the naturally occurring or synthetic macromolecules that are composed of repeating subunits, called monomers.

The three main classes of polymers are: thermoplastic, thermosetting, and the elastomers.

Thermoplastic polymers have linear bonding. These polymers can be melted again and thus can recycled.

Thermosetting polymers have cross-linked bonding. These polymers decompose when heated and thus can not be remelted and recycled.

Elastomers have linear bonding with some cross-linking. These polymers extreme elastic extensibility and thus can revert back to its original shape after deformation, without causing any permanent damage.

Match the test to the property it measures.
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

a. Rockwell              3. hardness

b. Instron                 2. stress vs strain

c. Charpy                 1. impact strength

d. Fatigue                4. Endurance Limit

e. Brinell                  3. hardness

f. Izod                      1. impact strength

Explanation:

Izod and Charpy are the impact strength testing procedure of a material in which a heavy hammer is attached to an arm is released to impact on the test specimen. In Izod test the specimen with v-notch is held vertical with the notch facing outward while in Charpy test the specimen is supported horizontally with notch facing inward to the impacting hammer.

Instron testing system does universal testing of the material which gradually applies the load recording all the stresses and the corresponding strains until the material fails.

Fatigue is the property of a material due to which it fails under the repeated cyclic loading by the initiation and propagation of cracks. The property of a material resist failure subjected to infinite number of repeated cyclic loads below a certain stress limit.

Rockwell and Brinell are the hardness testing methods. In Rockwell test an intender ball is firstly pressed against the specimen using minor load for a certain time and then a major load is pressed against it for a certain time. After the intender is removed the depth of impression on the surface is measured while in case of Brinell hardness we apply only one load against the intender ball for a certain time and after its removal the radius of impression is measured.

Consider a space shuttle weighing 100 kN. It is travelling at 310 m/s for 30 minutes. At the same time, it descends 2200 m. Cons
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

work done = 48.88 × 10^{9} J

Explanation:

given data

mass = 100 kN

velocity =  310 m/s

time = 30 min = 1800 s

drag force = 12 kN

descends = 2200 m

to find out

work done by the shuttle engine

solution

we know that work done here is

work done = accelerating work - drag work - descending work

put here all value

work done = ( mass ×velocity ×time  - force ×velocity ×time  - mass ×descends )  10³ J

work done = ( 100 × 310 × 1800  - 12×310 ×1800  - 100 × 2200 )  10³ J

work done = 48.88 × 10^{9} J
