    Effect of Strain Hardening on Yield Strength

    Homework Statement The strain hardening behavior of an annealed, low‐carbon steel is σ = 100,000ε0.2 If a bar of this material is initially cold worked 20%, followed by additional cold work of 30%, determine the probable yield strength of the final bar. Homework Equations σ=κεη...

    Tension Direction in FBDs & Tension HW

    Hah that makes things easy. I guess I was thinking back to statics where if I was assuming a member to be in tension, but my answer came out negative then I had assumed wrong and it was in compression. Thanks alot.

    Tension Direction in FBDs & Tension HW

    Homework Statement While working through problems I always have trouble determining the direction that tension acts in on objects in the system. In system B.) block A has a velocity of 4m/s to the right, with mu(k)=0.2, causing the mass B to fall, in class tension was assumed to be in the...

    Solving Statics HW Problem: Piston Velocity & Acceleration

    You can solve this using either the Relative Motion Method for mechanism analysis, or Instantaneous Centers of Rotation. I`m guessing you haven't covered either of these in your course, I did a quick search and found this book if you want to read up on it...

    How Do I Solve This Moment Problem in My Assignment?

    If you want me to go through the whole problem let me know.. But the problem with your solution is with Force B. Under your moment column for this force you have 5.65 x 0 = 0. This is incorrect. The VERTICAL moment of force B IS ZERO! Since the hozitonal distance from Fb to the pivot is...

    Therefore, the heat flow rate under these conditions is 19600 Btu/hr.

    I may be able to help a bit..I had a question simmilar to this, but I've handed it in. I made and used a spreadsheet to solve it, not calculus. With all of your given information, you can solve for the temperature of the fluid inside the pipe. (Is the thermal conductivity of the pipe...

    Estimating Surface Temperature of Insulated Electrical Wire

    Homework Statement An electrical wire 1/8" in diameter is covered with insulation 3/32" thick. Six watss of electrical energy are dissipated as heat by the resistance of the wire per foot length. The heat is given up to the surrounding air at 60 degrees farneheit. Estimate the outside...

    Shear force and bending moment diagrams

    It's been awhile since I've done this but hopefully I can help a little. I can't read your SFD too well, but to solve for the bending moment at D.. Take moments from point A Ma = 0 kn . mm Mb = 0 + (Length x Width on your SFD) The bending moment at D will be Mc + (Bound area from...

    Fluid mechanics involving stability

    i have a quick question about stability..sorry if I am hijacking the thread.. If you are determining wether something will be stable or not, is it only dependant on wether the metacenter is above the center of gravity?

    Fluid Mechanics - Distance to Centroid

    Homework Statement http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll12/uradnky/fluid.jpg I'm asked to solve for the force on the projected plane surface and show where it is acting. This problem seems pretty easy, but with the dimensions given I can't find Lc, so I can't find dc to begin it. Is...

    Finding Distance Traveled with Given Acceleration and Initial Velocity

    Homework Statement In coming to a stop the acceleration of a car is given as a= -4t. If it is traveling at 32m/s when the brakes are applied, how far does is travel while stopping? The Attempt at a Solution 1.) Integrate acceleration to find velocity as a function of time v=...
