A falling head permeability test was performed on a re-moulded silty clay soil sample 150 mm in diameter and 250 mm in length. The diameter of the standpipe was 12.7 mm. At the start of the test, the height of the water in the standpipe measured 2,236 mm above the constant water level where the soil sample was immersed in. After 7 hours and 45 minutes, the height of the water in the standpipe was measured at 1971 mm. Determine: (i) the coefficient of permeability of the soil (in m/sec), and (ii) the estimated height of the water in the standpipe after a further 12 hours of running this test. (iii) the total time (from the start of the test in days, hours, minutes and seconds) it will take for the water level in the standpipe to reach a height of 600 mm.

11-1 A particular tilted aerial photograph exposed with a 152-mm-focal length camera has a tilt angle 2°45’ and a swing angle of 140°00’. On this photograph, what are the auxiliary x' and y photocoordinates for points a and b, whose photocoordinates measured with respect to the fiducial axes are xa = 69.27 mm, ya = -41.80 mm, xb = -54.72 mm, and yb = 106.38 mm?

Explain why metals are electrically conducting and ceramics are good insulators.

The lattice parameters of a BCC metal is 3.1468 Å. Calculate:

(a) Interplanar spacing and the size of Burgers vector for slip system (111)[1 1̅ 0].

(b) Interplanar spacing and the size of Burgers vector for slip system (101)[111̅].

(c) What is the ratio between the shear stress required for slip for the two systems ( ?(111)[1 1̅ 0] / ?(101)[111̅] )? Assume that k=2.

You are a failure analysis engineer who must certify the integrity of an engineering component. Your component manufacturer has informed you that the plane strain fracture toughness of the component is measured to be as high as 140 ???√? and certifies that the surface cracks observed in the components are not bigger than 0.01 mm. During service, this component is to be continuously cycled at 3000 revolutions per minute between compressive and tensile stresses of 350 MPa. Assume that ? = 1.12 for all possible surface cracks. Materials constants are ? = 3.4 and ? = 2 × 10^−15 .

(a) You have access to three non-destructive testing techniques as shown in the table below. By calculating the critical crack length required to cause fracture, determine if any of the three techniques can be used to detect the crack before the fracture of the component.

(b) If you are to remove the component as soon as the crack length reaches 55% of the critical crack length to cause fracture, determine how many useful hours of the life of this component remains.
