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

BCC lithium has a lattice parameter of 3.5089 3 10–8 cm and contains one vacancy per 200 unit cells. Calculate (a) the number of
Tanya [424]

(a) The number of vacancies per cubic centimeter is 1.157 X 10²⁰

(b) ρ = n X (AM) / v X Nₐ

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u />

Given-

Lattice parameter of Li  = 3.5089 X 10⁻⁸ cm

1 vacancy per 200 unit cells

Vacancy per cell = 1/200

(a)

Number of vacancies per cubic cm = ?

Vacancies/cm³ = vacancy per cell / (lattice parameter)³

Vacancies/cm³ = 1 / 200 X (3.5089 X 10⁻⁸cm)³

Vacancies/cm³ = 1.157 X 10²⁰

Therefore, the number of vacancies per cubic centimeter is 1.157 X 10²⁰

(b)

Density is represented by ρ

ρ = n X (AM) / v X Nₐ

where,

Nₐ = Avogadro number

AM = atomic mass

n = number of atoms

v = volume of unit cell

Natali [406]

Answer:

Sarah is asking each department head how long they can be without their primary system. Sarah is trying to determine the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) as this is the duration of time within which the primary system must be restored after the disruption.

Recovery Point Objective is basically to determine the age of restoration or recovery point.

Business recovery and technical recovery requirements are to assess the requirements to recover by Business or technically.

Hence, Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is the correct answer.

If there are 16 signal combinations (states) and a baud rate (number of signals/second) of 8000/second, how many bps could I sen
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

32000 bits/seconds

Explanation:

Given that :

there are 16  signal combinations (states) = 2⁴

bits  n = 4

and a baud rate (number of signals/second) = 8000/second

Therefore; the number of bits per seconds can be calculated as follows:

Number of bits per seconds = bits  n × number of signal per seconds

Number of bits per seconds =  4 × 8000/second

Number of bits per seconds = 32000 bits/seconds
