Two steels are being considered for the manufacture of as-forged connecting rods subjected to bending loads. One is AISI 4340 Cr-Mo-Ni steel capable of being heat-treated to a tensile strength of 260 kpsi. The other is a plain carbon steel AISI 1040 with an attainable Sut of 113 kpsi. Each rod is to have a size giving an equivalent diameter de of 0.83 in. Determine the endurance limit for each material. Is there any advantage of using the alloy steel for this fatigue application?

At 12 noon, the count in a bacteria culture was 400; at 4: 00 pm the count was 1200 let p(t) denote the bacteria cou population growth law. find: (a) an expression for the bacteria count at any time t (b) the bacteria count at 10 am. (c) the time required for the bacteria count to reach 1800.

Slip occurs via two partial dislocations because of (a) the shorter path of the partial dislocation lines; (b) the lower energy state through partial dislocations; (c) the charge balance.
