A 12 m thick layer of Chicago clay is doubly drained. This means that a very previous layer compared to the clay exists on top o

f and under the 12 m clay layer. The coefficient of consolidation of the clay is cv = 8.0 x 10-8 m2/s. Find the degree or percent consolidation for the clay 5 years after loading at depths of 3, 6, 9, and 12 m.

What is the governing ratio for thin walled cylinders?
Ann [662]

Answer:

The governing ratio for thin walled cylinders is 10 if you use the radius. So if you divide the cylinder´s radius by its thickness and your result is more than 10, then you can use the thin walled cylinder stress formulas, in other words:

  • if \frac{radius}{thickness} >10 then you have a thin walled cylinder

or using the diameter:

  • if \frac{diameter}{thickness} >20 then you have a thin walled cylinder

A rotating beam is subject to an alternating stress of 48 kpsi and a mean stress of 24 kpsi. The ultimate strength of the materi
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

goodman = 0.694

life of beam = 211597

Explanation:

alternating stress = 48 kpsi

mean stress = 24 kpsi

ultimate strength = 100 kpsi

endurance limit = 40 kpsi

goodman:

= \frac{mean stress}{ultimate stress} +\frac{alternating stress}{endurance limit} =\frac{1}{N}

= \frac{24}{100} +\frac{48}{40} =\frac{1}{N}

= 0.24 + 1.2 = \frac{1}{N}

N = 1/1.44

N = 0.694

2. check attachment for diagram

Log(N)-3/3 = log90 - log48/log90 - log40

Log(N)-3/3 = 0.77517

Log N = 5.325509

N = 10^(5.325509)

N = 211597

Why is it important to know the accuracy and precision of a measuring device? Do you think that the dial caliper manufacturer’s
Leto [7]

Answer:

Accuracy and precision allow us to know how much we can rely on a measuring device readings. ±.001 as a "accuracy" claim is vague because there is no unit next to the figure and the claim fits better to the definition of precision.

Explanation:

Accuracy and Precision: the golden couple.

Accuracy and precision are key elements to define if a measuring device is reliable or not for a specific task. Accuracy determines how close are the readings from the ideal/calculated values. On the other hand, precision refers to repeatability, that is to say how constant the readings of a device are when measuring the same element at different times. One of those two key concepts may not fulfill the criteria for measuring tool to be used on certain engineering projects where lack of accuracy (disntant values from real ones) or precision (not constant readings) may lead to malfunctons and severe delays on the project development.

±.001 what unit?

The manufacturer says that is an accuracy indicator, nevertheless there is now unit stated so this is not useful to see how accurate the device is. Additionally, That notation is more used to refer to device tolerances, that is to say the range of possible values the instrument may show when reading and element. It means it tells us more about the device precision during measurments than actual accuracy. I would recommend the following to the dial calipers manufacturers to better explain its measurement specifications:

  1. Use  ±.001 as  a reference for precision. It is important to add the respective unit for that figure.
  2. Condcut test to define the actual accuracy value an present it using one of the common used units for that:  Error percentage or ppm.
