    suitable material for each part of a machine. A machine designer uses his information of stress to make sure that the stress is reasonable and that each part of the machine is sufficiently strong. Strength of materials is the scientific area of applied mechanics for the study of the strength of engineering materials and their mechanical behavior in general (such as stress, deformation, strain and stress-strain relations). Strength is considered in terms of compressive strength, tensile strength, and shear

  • Cracked Tooth

    612 Words  | 2 Pages

    Do you feel a sharp pain in your tooth whenever you bite down? Does the pain quickly disappear after releasing the pressure? Do temperature extremes cause you pain? These are questions that your dentist will ask you as he or she tries to determine whether or not you have a cracked tooth. A crack in a tooth is not always visible to the eye, and sometimes cracks don’t even show on x-rays. But an early diagnosis and treatment is critical if you want to prevent this problem from becoming more complicated

  • Science Behind Sidewalk Essay

    630 Words  | 2 Pages

    to temperature change concrete expands and contracts just like many other seemingly indestructible construction materials. Let’s look at it this way; thinks of your sidewalk as one continuous slab. In the morning when the temperatures are low your solid continuous slap will contract. As the day ages the sun intensity heats up the sidewalk causing the temperature to rise making it to expand. With no

  • Girder Bridge Case 12-11

    618 Words  | 2 Pages

    The results show that the bridge in Case 1 collapsed under 44% of the total applied load with 0.097 inches bending displacement and 0.45 inches buckling displacement, as shown in Figs 10 -11. The bridge collapsed due to the huge lateral movement at the top of the webs, which caused a loss of stability and ability of the webs to carry any load, Figs 12-13. The value of the bending displacement is small compared to the value of the buckling displacement because almost no bending moment was created

  • Euler-Bernoulli versus Timoshenko Beam Theories

    656 Words  | 2 Pages

    Beam theories provide a means of calculating the load carrying capabilities of and the deflection characteristics of beams. The Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories are described and contrasted in this short essay. The Euler-Bernoulli beam theory or classical beam theory (pure bending moment) provides for analysis of cases of small deflection of a beam that is relatively long compared to beam depth in the direction of loading. The Euler-Bernoulli equation describes the relationships between

  • Hooke's Law Investigation.

    847 Words  | 2 Pages

    Hooke's Law Investigation Introduction - Hooke's Law is when forces are applied to a solid object and it can result in extension or compression. Hooke's Law is able to predict how a spring (or other stretchable object) would behave when force is applied to it. I am trying to find out what factors effect the stretching of a spring. The variables are: Ÿ Downward force applied to spring. Ÿ Spring material. Ÿ Length of spring. Ÿ No. of coils in spring. Ÿ Diameter of spring

  • Spring Constant of Springs in Series and Parallel

    3719 Words  | 8 Pages

    Spring Constant of Springs in Series and Parallel Planning The aim of this investigation is to examine the effect on the spring constant placing 2 identical springs in parallel and series combination has and how the resultant spring constants of the parallel and series spring sets compare to that of a lone spring with identical spring constant. Hypothesis ---------- Hooke's Law states that "The magnitude of the spring constant (k) is equal to the stretching force applied (F)

    to avoid foaming-over during fermentation. After all of the must has been poured into the fermentors and the sulfur dioxide has been added, the fermentors should be covered with cheesecloth or plastic to keep out insects. Temperature, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, and the free and total SO2 of the must in each fermentor should be determined and the results recorded. Adding sulfur dioxide Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a chemical compound that has been used in winemaking for more than a century

    fabrics available were mostly natural fibers like cotton, silk, linen, and wool. Daywear was most often in shades of white, brown, and black, commonly in a small figured or floral print. Eveningwear consisted of lightweight silks in sometimes brighter solids or light-colored hazy prints. In this particular period, fancy trim meant status. Trim was very excessive as possible on shoulders, waist, and the lower half of the skirt. Items used included were lace, embroidery, jet beading, flowers, ribbon, and

  • States of Matter

    1863 Words  | 4 Pages

    whole. There are four distinct states of matter: solids, liquids, gases, and plasma. There are other states of matter such as Bose-Einstein condesates and neutron degenerate matter, but those states can only be found under extreme conditions. These phases can go from one to another when affected by certain things, which is known as phase changes. To switch from a solid to a liquid, the solid must melt. On the other hand, to switch from a liquid to a solid, freezing must occur. Furthermore, to switch

  • What Is Ceramics Engineering?

    937 Words  | 2 Pages

    1.0 Intro:¬¬¬ • Ceramics Engineering is a technology for manufacturing products from inorganic, non-metallic materials and the use of ceramic or ceramic materials. • This is done by heat or at lower temperatures using sedimentation processes of high purity chemical solvents. • Many engineering applications benefit from the characteristics of ceramics as a material. • The special properties of ceramic materials make it suitable for many applications in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering

  • Freezing Point Lab

    1303 Words  | 3 Pages

    point is. A freezing point is defined as a temperature at which a liquid changes into a solid. A melting is the opposite of the freezing point. It is defined as a temperature at which a solid, turns into a liquid. That in order to freeze pure water, the water must reach a temperature of less then 0˚Celsius. They also must have knowledge that in order to change pure water (in the solid form) to a liquid, that solid must reach a temperature above 0˚Celsius.

  • Drones Safety Precautions

    A drone’s frame is its skeleton. Not only does its rigid structure support all the other components of RubiQ’s body, but it also defines how she measures up in the emerging world of drone classification. From insect-sized nano drones that slide snugly inside a shirt pocket to stealth combat drones operated by the military, not all drones all created equal. Because the field of drones is continually expanding, an official class system has yet to emerge — except when it comes to racing. In the world

    This experiment demonstrated how to purify benzoic acid by means of recrystallization. The original benzoic acid solid sample used contained 5% salicylic acid, an impurity. Benzoic acid is of the following structure: Salicylic is of the following structure: For part 1, after boiling and dissolving benzoic acid in water, we allowed the solution to cool and recrystallize, first at air temperature and then on ice. As the solution cooled at air temperature, the benzoic acid started to recrystallize

  • Glass Half Empty

    "Is the glass half full, or is it half empty?" My fourth-year grade school teacher presented this question one day in class. I remember sitting more towards the rear of the room; I was the problem child. There was a book, Alicen Jones's book actually, and in that book was a picture of a glass of milk. My teacher Ms.Corson was ecstatic to share this page with these developing minds. Is the glass half empty, or is it half full? The class shouted their answers. A majority agreed that the glass was half

  • Analyzing Amount Of Salt Affects The Freezing Point Of Ice Cream

    870 Words  | 2 Pages

    salt affects the freezing point of ice cream. Background Information Water is made of water and hydrogen molecules, when bonded, they form a crystalline structure called ice (worldofchemicals.com). During the change of water from a liquid to a solid, water molecules move slow so they can’t leave the intermolecular attraction between water molecules. Ion-dipole forces occur between water molecules and a sodium ion. The slightly negative charge of oxygen in water is attracted to the positive charge
