Problem1 - Ceramics (attaching table & image under) (a) Today most turbo charged car engines have their rotors made of silicon nitride (Si3N4) rather than the traditional nickel alloy (Figure 1).
i) Justify this material switch from metals to ceramics by comparing FOUR relevant material properties of silicon nitride with that of the previously used Nickel alloy.
[Compare using a “Table” format and Granta-EduPack to find the property values].

ii) Draw a flow chart to outline the main process steps of the Si3N4 ceramic turbo charger rotor manufacture and assembly, and discuss two microstructural features that must be controlled to within strict limits during manufacture.

(b) 20 silicon nitride (Si3N4) samples from the same batch were 3-point bend tested, the results for the fracture strengths are given in Table 1 below.

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.
