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.

Technique	Smallest detectable crack (mm)
X-ray radiography	0.50
γ-ray radiography	0.2
Ultrasonic inspection	0.13

(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.

(a) As an engineer who has just finished taking engineering materials course, your first task is to investigate the causes of an automobile accident. Your findings show that the right rear wheel has broken off at the axle. The axle is bent. The fracture surface reveals a Chevron pattern pointing toward the surface of the axle. Suggest a possible cause for the fracture and why? (b) A titanium pipe used to transport a corrosive material at 400°C is found to...

WHO ARE YOUR COMPETITORS? Once you determine who and where your customers are, you must determine whom you have to share them with. Find out if similar products are carried in retail outlets. Once identified, search for information on competitors in industry directories, either in print or online databases. WHAT PRICE DO THEY CHARGE? Establish what your competitors charge and list the selling points of their product or service. Try to find your industry's wholesale and retail prices. WHAT PRICE...

You are the engineer who is responsible about renovation of your company headquarters. Two plans were proposed. Plan X involves remodeling the existing headquarters at a cost of $ 2.25 million. The expected useful life of the existing headquarters after remodeling is 25 years and the annual maintenance and operating (M&O) cost would be $126,000 per year. Plan Y involves building a new headquarters and selling the existing one with a net price of $750,000 three years from now. A...

Then for each circuit component tested, write a brief analysis of the component. Explain how you know whether it is "ohmic" or not. Report anything else you find interesting. If it is "ohmic," then attach the additional V –vs- I plot and report here the value of the resistance, as a confidence interval. Attach more paper if needed.

As you know, “extended failure modes” must be considered when implementing distributedsystems. You have now developed a simple multi-threaded server using both connection oriented(stream) and connectionless (datagram) sockets. Briefly discuss the types of extendedfailures that could occur in each implementation. Can some failures occur in oneimplementation but not the other? Explain!
