You have been asked to obtain an object/structure/component that has failed (It may come from your home, workshop, an automobile repair shop, a machine shop, and so on) and investigate to: 1. Determine the cause and type of failure (i.e., simple fracture, fatigue, creep). 2. What are the working and environmental conditions that causes the failure? 3. Propose measures that can be taken to prevent future incidents of this type of failure. 4. After you have determined the failure type of your case study, your leader asked you to write shortly about the other mechanisms of failures.

This is a resistance calculation problem for construction equipment. Given facts shown below, answer the four questions:Facts:A fully loaded wheeled scraper (empty weight = 30.0 tons; fully loaded weight = 80.0 tons) must travel up a 3.0% slope on a muddy haul road.The average tire penetration of the machine is estimated to be 4.0 inches.After dumping the loaded weight, the scraper returns downhill with an empty weight. Type all your work with a final answer to each question below. Q1) What is the total resistance force in lb. that the machine is going uphill? Q2) Determine the effective grade (%) for the total resistance of going uphill? Q3) What is the total resistance force in lb. that the machine is coming downhill? Q4) Determine the effective grade (%) for the total resistance of coming downhill?
Q7) What is the difference between a design value and an allowable and how does variability in material properties impact this behavior?
A metal rod having a diameter of 10 mm is subjected to a repeated tensile load. The material of the rod has a tensile strength of 290 MPa and a fatigue failure behavior as shown in the figure. How many load repetitions can be applied to this rod before it fails if the magnitude of the load is a.) 5 kN, b.) 11 kN? (include clear explanation for the process to be understandable)
Please solve this question. A material testing laboratory has two alternatives for purchasing a compression testing machine which will be used for determining the compressive strength of different construction materials. The alternatives are from two different manufacturing companies. The cash flow details of the alternatives are as follows; Alternative-1: Initial purchase price = Rs.1,000,000, Annual operating cost = Rs.10,000, Expected annual income to be generated from testing of different construction materials = Rs.175,000, Expected salvage value = Rs.200,000, Useful life = 10 years. Alternative-2: Initial purchase price = Rs.700,000, Annual operating cost = Rs.15,000, Expected annual income to be generated from testing of different construction materials = Rs.165,000, Expected salvage value = Rs.250,000, Useful life = 5 years. Evaluate the alternatives by using present worth method for selection of the most economical one at the interest rate of 10% per year.

A wire 4m long is stretched horizontally between points A and B 4m apart. A load W placed at the center of the wire produces a sag of 53.4mm,a. If the wire is 25mm2in cross-section and the Young’s modulus is 200GPa, what is the magnitude of load W?b. If the load was reduced by 40%, what will be the sag?
I want to know why is it important to know the different CMT Laboratory Apparatus and Materials? Thankyou
Hi, I am having trouble understanding this scenario and any help would be very appreciated. :) I have three bars of 6061 aluminium alloy and I want to two graphs showing all of their performances. The three bars have the data as follows; Bar 1: Cross Sectional Area = 10 mm2 Length = 40 cm Bar 2: Cross Sectional Area = 20 mm2 Length = 40 cm Bar 3: Cross Sectional Area = 10 mm2 Length = 70 cm (a) how would I make a graph showing the three bars' structural performance in tension? (b) how would I make a graph showing the three bars' performance in tension till their yield? Any help would really be appreciated thank you!
