It is desired to produce a continuous and oriented carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy having a modulus of elasticity of at least 83 GPa in the direction of fiber alignment. The modulus of elasticity of the graphite fiber is 260 GPa, and the modulus of elasticity of the epoxy is 2.4 GPa. What is the minimum volume fraction of fibers required to meet this requirement. (this is a Chapter 16 problem) the minimum fiber volume fraction is:

The force on a cutting tool are 2600n vertically downward and 2100 horizontal. determine the resultant force acting on the tool and the angle at which it acts.

Afour cylinder four-stroke in-line engine has a stroke of 160mm, connecting rod length of 150mm, a reciprocating mass of 3kg and its firing order is 1-3-4-2. the spacing between cylinders is 100mm. i. show that the engine is in balance with regard to the primary inertia forces and primary 3. a and secondary inertia couples. li determine the out of balance secondary inertia force ii. propose ways of balancing this out of balance force and discuss the challenges that will arise
