An aluminum cylinder bar ( 70 GPa E m = ) is instrumented with strain gauges and is subject to a tensile force of 5 kN. The diameter of the bar is 10 cm. The Poisson’s ratio of the bar is 0.33. A Wheatstone bridge is constructed to measure the axial strain. Gauge 1 measures the axial strain and gauge 2 measures the lateral strain.

Apiston-cylinder with a volume of 0.25 m3 holds 1 kg of air (r 0.287 k/kgk) at a temperature of 100 c. heat transfer to the cylinder causes an isothermal expansion of the piston until the volume triples. how much heat is added to the piston-cylinder?

The temperature of air decreases as it is compressed by an adiabatic compressor. a)- true b)- false

Aplate clutch has a single pair of mating friction surfaces 250-mm od by 175-mm id. the mean value of the coefficient of friction is 0.30, and the actuating force is 4 kn. a) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-wear model. b) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-pressure model.
