Summary

Students learn about the variety of materials used by engineers in the design and construction of modern bridges. They also find out about the material properties important to bridge construction and consider the advantages and disadvantages of steel and concrete as common bridge-building materials to handle compressive and tensile forces.

This engineering curriculum aligns to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

Engineering Connection

When designing structures such as bridges, engineers carefully choose the materials by anticipating the forces the materials (the structural components) are expected to experience during their lifetimes. Usually, ductile materials such as steel, aluminum and other metals are used for components that experience tensile loads. Brittle materials such as concrete, ceramics and glass are used for components that experience compressive loads.

Learning Objectives

After this lesson, students should be able to:

List several common materials used the design and construction of structures.

Describe several factors that engineers consider when selecting materials for the design of a bridge.

Explain the advantages and disadvantages of common materials used in engineering structures (steel and concrete).

Let f(z) = (4z ² + 2z) / (2z ² - 3z + 1).

First, carry out the division:

f(z) = 2 + (8z - 2) / (2z ² - 3z + 1)

Observe that

2z ² - 3z + 1 = (2z - 1) (z - 1)

so you can separate the rational part of f(z) into partial fractions. We have

(8z - 2) / (2z ² - 3z + 1) = a / (2z - 1) + b / (z - 1)

8z - 2 = a (z - 1) + b (2z - 1)

8z - 2 = (a + 2b) z - (a + b)

so that a + 2b = 8 and a + b = 2, yielding a = -4 and b = 6.

So we have

f(z) = 2 - 4 / (2z - 1) + 6 / (z - 1)

f(z) = 2 - (2/z) (1 / (1 - 1/(2z))) + (6/z) (1 / (1 - 1/z))

Recall that for |z| < 1, we have

$\displaystyle\frac1{1-z}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty z^n$

Replace z with 1/z to get

$\displaystyle\frac1{1-\frac1z}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty z^{-n}$

so that by substitution, we can write

$\displaystyle f(z) = 2 - \frac2z \sum_{n=0}^\infty (2z)^{-n} + \frac6z \sum_{n=0}^\infty z^{-n}$

Now condense f(z) into one series:

$\displaystyle f(z) = 2 - \sum_{n=0}^\infty 2^{-n+1} z^{-(n+1)} + 6 \sum_{n=0}^\infty z^{-n-1}$

$\displaystyle f(z) = 2 - \sum_{n=0}^\infty \left(6+2^{-n+1}\right) z^{-(n+1)}$

$\displaystyle f(z) = 2 - \sum_{n=1}^\infty \left(6+2^{-(n-1)+1}\right) z^{-n}$

$\displaystyle f(z) = 2 - \sum_{n=1}^\infty \left(6+2^{2-n}\right) z^{-n}$

So, the inverse Z transform of f(z) is $\boxed{6+2^{2-n}}$ .

A sum of $500,000 will be invested by a firm two years from now. If money is worth 12%, what will be the worth of this investmen

notka56 [123]

Answer:

investment 10 years from now is $1,238,000 .

Explanation:

given data

sum = $500,000

rate = 12% =0.12

total time = 10 year

solution

as present value After 2 years from now is $500,000

so time period is now = 8 year ( 10 - 2 )

so we apply future value formula that is

Future value = present value × $(1+r)^{t}$ ............1

put here value we get

Future value = $500,000 × $(1+0.12)^{8}$

Future value = $500,000 × 2.476

Future value = $1,238,000

so investment 10 years from now is $1,238,000 .

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

a. population, units, sample

Explanation:

In a survey or in a research, population is defined as the total number of people or total number of items in the group that we want to study in a research. It is the entire pool from where a sample is drawn.

An unit is defined as the individual members for which the information or data is collected.

A sample is defined is defined as the group or part of the selection from where the information or data is to be obtained.

A south-facing collector at latitude 40◦ is tipped up at an angle equal to its latitude. Compute the following insolations for J

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Explanation:

(c). looking for the radiation of the collector is given thus

C = 0.095 + 0.04 sin [360/365(n-100)] = 0.095 + 0.04 sin [360/365(1-100)]

C = 0.05535

∴ Diffuse radiation of the collector Idc = C*Ib + (1+cosσ/2)

Idc = 0.5535 * 908.7 (1+cos40/ 2) = 44.41 W/m²

Idc = 44.41 W/m²

1.) A semiconductor is a device whose conductivity lies between the conductivity of the conductors and the insulators.

2.) A Zener diode is a semiconductor device made of silicon that allows current to flow in both directions.

<h3>What is a semiconductor?</h3>

A semiconductor is a device whose conductivity lies between the conductivity of the conductors and the insulators.

Due to the inclusion of an impurity or temperature effects, a solid substance with conductivity between that of an insulator and that of most metals. Semiconductor devices, particularly silicon devices, are key components of most electronic circuits.

Zener diode:-

A Zener diode is a semiconductor device made of silicon that allows current to flow in both directions.
