A cross beam in a highway bridge experiences a stress of 14 ksi due to the dead weight of the bridge structure. When a fully loa

ded tractor-trailer crosses over the bridge, however, the stress in the beam increases to 45 ksi. The beam is fabricated from steel with an ultimate tensile strength of 76 ksi, a yield strength of 50 ksi, and an endurance limit of 38 ksi. Find the safety factor for an infinite fatigue life:
a. if the effect of mean stress on fatigue strength is ignored
b. when the effect of mean stress on fatigue strength is considered.

Answer:

a) 2.452

b) 1.256

Explanation:

Stress due to dead weight. = 14 Ksi

Stress due to fully loaded tractor-trailer = 45Ksi

ultimate tensile strength of beam = 76 Ksi

yield strength = 50 Ksi

endurance limit = 38 Ksi

Determine the safety factor for an infinite fatigue life

a) If mean stress on fatigue strength is ignored

β = ( 45 - 14 ) / 2

  = 15.5 Ksi

hence FOS ( factor of safety ) = endurance limit / β

                                                 = 38 / 15.5 = 2.452

b) When mean stress on fatigue strength is considered

β2 = 45 + 14 / 2

    = 29.5 Ksi

Ratio  = β / β2 = 15.5 / 29.5 = 0.5254

Next step: applying Goodman method

Sa =  [ ( 0.5254 * 38 *76 ) / ( 0.5254*76 + 38 ) ]

     = 19.47 Ksi

hence the FOS ( factor of safety ) = Sa / β

                                                      = 19.47 / 15.5 = 1.256

natulia [17]

Answer:

minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor is 0.1437 Btu/s

Explanation:

given data

area = 3 ft by 3 ft

air density = 0.075 lbm/ft³

to find out

minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor

solution

we know that energy balance equation that is express as

E in - E out  = \frac{dE \ system}{dt}    ......................1

and at steady state  \frac{dE \ system}{dt} = 0

so we can say from equation 1

E in = E out

so

minimum power required is

E in = W = m \frac{V^2}{2} = \rho A V \frac{V^2}{2}  

put here value

E in =  \rho A V \frac{V^2}{2}  

E in =  0.075 *3*3* 22 \frac{22^2}{2}  

E in = 0.1437 Btu/s

minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor is 0.1437 Btu/s

An equal-tangent sag vertical curve (with a negative initial and a positive final grade) is designed for 55 mi/h. The PVI is at
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The lowest point of the curve is at 239+42.5 ft where elevation is 124.16 ft.

Explanation:

Length of curve is given as

L=2(PVT-PVI)\\L=2(242+30-240+00)\\L=2(230)\\L=460 ft

G_2 is given as

G_2=\frac{E_{PVT}-E_{PVI}}{0.5L}\\G_2=\frac{127.5-122}{0.5*460}\\G_2=0.025=2.5 \%

The K value is given from the table 3.3 for 55 mi/hr is 115. So the value of A is given as

A=\frac{L}{K}\\A=\frac{460}{115}\\A=4

A is given as

-G_1=A-G_2\\-G_1=4.0-2.5\\-G_1=1.5\\G_1=-1.5\%

With initial grade, the elevation of PVC is

E_{PVC}=E_{PVI}+G_1(L/2)\\E_{PVC}=122+1.5%(460/2)\\E_{PVC}=125.45 ft\\

The station is given as

St_{PVC}=St_{PVI}-(L/2)\\St_{PVC}=24000-(230)\\St_{PVC}=237+70\\

Low point is given as

x=K \times |G_1|\\x=115 \times 1.5\\x=172.5 ft

The station of low point is given as

St_{low}=St_{PVC}-(x)\\St_{low}=23770+(172.5)\\St_{low}=239+42.5 ft\\

The elevation is given as

E_{low}=\frac{G_2-G_1}{2L} x^2+G_1x+E_{PVC}\\E_{low}=\frac{2.5-(-1.5)}{2*460} (1.72)^2+(-1.5)*(1.72)+125.45\\E_{low}=124.16 ft

So the lowest point of the curve is at 239+42.5 ft where elevation is 124.16 ft.
