- two cylinders are printed on a 3d printer, with a setting of 40% fill rate. This means that the solid parts of the cylinders at 40% plastic material. Given this, tell me how much plastic material is used to make each of these cylinders. I measured both cylinders in meters and these are the measurements below A) Cylinder 1- Height: 0.042m Radius 2(outer radius): 0.008m Radius 1(inner radius): 0.006m B) Cylinder 2 Height: 0.022m Radius 2(outer radius): 0.008m Radius 1(inner radius): 0.006marrow_forwardWhy do the supports that resist a force, such as a pin, restrict displacement?arrow_forwardExamples for the applications of forces on curved surfaces.arrow_forward
- As James orbits, he slams into a space elevator, peals himself off, and gets in. On the way down, he thinks about how much strain his legs (0.3m long) can take. If he has a mass of 45kg, and a diameter of 3cm what is the strain on each leg? Assume compact bone.arrow_forwardA new high stiffness plastic material has a length of 19.7 inches and a thickness of 3 mm and is being considered for use as a bone fixation plate. When subjected to a tensile load of 10000 N, the material stretches to a length of 19.88 inches. Please find the width of this material, which has a modulus of 4 GPa.arrow_forwardQ1) The redesigned brake caliper is manufactured using SLM from Titanium Ti6Al-4V alloy powder. How many SLM machines are required to manufacture parts for 450 vehicleswhich are to be built in a 20-month production period. The following parameters are in effect:• A single caliper is built at a time• The caliper has a height of 173mm.• Each layer is 32 µm thick• Only one laser is used• The average laser scanning time for each layer with a single laser is 63 seconds• The powder recoating time for every odd numbered layer is 12 seconds and 25 for every evennumbered layer• Every 8th layer is scanned twice, at 2.3 times the usual laser scan speed to provide additional heatinput for in-situ heat treatment• The SLM machine operates at a duty rate of 42% of the 24-hour day, Monday to Friday, for 48 weeksof the year, with 10% of production time lost to unscheduled downtime.arrow_forward
- A siilicon boule has been processed through grinding to provide a cylinder whose diameter = 281 mm and whose length = 899 mm. Next, it will be sliced into wafers 0.8 mm thick using a cut-off saw with a kerf = 0.5 mm. The wafer thus produced will be used to fabricate as many IC chips as possible for the personal computer market. Each IC has a market value to the company of $108. Each chip is square with 17 mm on a side. The processable area of each wafer is defined by a diameter = 265 mm. Estimate the value of all of the IC chips that could be produced (in $), asssuming an overall yield of 84% good product.arrow_forwardA bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the desired motion, and reduces friction between moving parts. Bearing life is determined by load, temperature, maintenance, lubrication, material defects, contamination, handling, installation and other factors. What strategies are you going to make to lessen the effects of the mentioned factors?arrow_forwarda) During sliding of a cylindrical steel pin against a steel disc in a pin-on-disc test in air, the coefficient of friction is initially around 0.7, but then falls to 0.5 as the test proceeds. At the end of the test, the wear track on the disc is rough and black in colour, with a black powder on the disc surface outside the wear track; chemical analysis of the wear track shows a high oxygen level. (b) A test identical to that described in part (a) is conducted, but this time the test is conducted in vacuum. The coefficient of friction remains high through the test, the wear volumes are much greater, and the track on the disc surface following the test is very rough and silvery in colour. (c) A test identical to that described in part (a) is conducted, but this time the test is conducted in air at 300 ◦C. At the end of the test, the wear track on the disc is very smooth (shiny) and black in colour, with no debris on the disc surface outside the weartrack; chemical analysis of the wear…arrow_forward
