Introduction

How materials behave is dependent on various factors, some of which include their mechanical properties. When the material experiences various loading conditions, its behavior reflects its mechanical conditions as well as the effect of the loading conditions. When a material experiences various loading conditions, the material experiences either shear stress, tensile strength, or compressive strength. The tensile properties of a material relate to its ability support any axial loads to which it is subjected without rapturing (Department of Engineering. 2007). When a material is subjected to tensile stress, the deformation that occurs is in the form of elongation or ...

Q1. A 200mm diameter pipeline divides into two smaller pipelines, one being 100mm in diameter and the other being 150mm in diameter. If the velocity in the 100mm pipe is 0.3m/s and that in the 150mm is 0.6m/s, calculate the flowrate in litres/s and the velocity in m/s in the 200mm pipe. [ 13 l/s, 0.413m/s] Solution: Flow Rate = (pi/4)(0.1)2(0.3) + (pi/4)(0.15)2(0.6) = 0.01296 cubicmeters/sec = 12.96 l/sec. (ans.).

The air near the surface will usually become warmer throughout the day. This is one of the main reasons why it is unstable. Then at night, the air that is close to the surface will begin to cool. This is going to form a temperature inversion or a stable atmosphere.2. Inversions aloft are sometimes called “capping inversions” or “lids”. Why?

This is because it is like putting a lid on the atmosphere.

In the formation of art of the peoples who lived in the Mediterranean basin, a huge role was played by the so-called Aegean, or Mycenaean art. The Aegean culture was formed and developed in III—II millennia BC and was created by tribes that lived on the island of Crete, the Peloponnese, the West coast of Asia Minor (Boardman 21). In 1871, the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann excavated Hissarluka on the hill "pre-Homer" cities that can be dated to the III Millennium BC and which belong to the prehistory of the Aegean culture. Soon Schliemann began excavations in the ...

Introduction

Bend (flexure) testing is often done in springs as well in brittle materials whose behaviors of failure are linear like concrete, wood, plastic, glass and ceramics. Bend testing is suitable for evaluating the strength of brittle materials where the results of tensile tests aren’t easy to interpret due to the breaking of specimens around the gripping (Schoffstall, Charles, and Robert 234).

Velocity of Longitudinal Pressure in Sold Bars

Introduction As opposed to the transverse waves, longitudinal waves are not easily visible. They usually take place in one direction. Whenever we want to generate a pulse in an oscilloscope, it is required that the wave travels in a single direction to avoid creation of seismic or spark points due to merging or collision of the waves. Both the longitudinal (compressional) and shear waves travel in the form of bulk matter although the later causes change in volume, shape or layer (Hanyga 15). In order to effectively discuss the elastic characteristics of an elastic material like bars, the young’ ...

First thing, we needed to know was the measurement associated with the shear box including the height and mass, as well as cross-sectional dimensions to determine the normal force. Next thing to do was preparing a 200-gr sample of dense soil so we could compact it later into the box. The extracted sample was reckoned among the well-graded sands. The soil sample was then compacted into three equal layers such that the middle layer could be placed almost at the half height of the box where shear plane has been designed to be. A general planar view of this configuration ...

In the United States today we have symbols, ideals, and imagery that we considered to be uniquely American, however, much of what American culture is based upon can trace its origins to many different sources. The people who came to the United States, beginning with the European colonization of the New World, came from lands far, far away. Some people came seeking new lives and new freedoms, others sought to make a better living, and some were brought against their will as indentured servants and slave labor. However, all of these people and all of those cultures and ideals they ...

Illegal Immigration and the Obama Administration

Introduction The current influx of illegal immigration at the United States and Mexico border affects every aspect of American life. For each individual residing in the United States, citizen or alien, the legal status of each person should matter to all of us. Currently, in the United States, the majority of our hospitals, classrooms, and prisons remain overcrowded. We can no longer turn a blind eye to the political, social, and economical issues that have slowly resulted due to weak attempts to combat the flood of illegal immigrants crossing into America (Savino 88). Political analysts have suggested that President ...

Earthquakes are vibrations of the Earth that are caused by the rupture and sudden movement of rocks along faults or breaks within the earth's crust. The elastic-rebound theory is a model used to explain the origin of earthquakes. It illustrates the buildup of elastic strain from stresses within the earth's crust and the abrupt release of energy along faults as the rocks return or rebound to their initial state (Ristau 249; Hamblin and Christiansen 510). The point within the Earth where the earthquake's energy is generated by the initial slippage or movement is called the focus. The epicenter is the ...

Literature as a Way to Express Immigration and Ethnicity

When exploring the varying attributes of immigration and its connection to ethnicity and national identity, one of the best ways to examine these issues is through literature. While literature does not provide the objectivity of facts and figures, narrative fiction in literature provides endless avenues for subjective, thematic discussion about the broader emotional and human issues surrounding topics like immigration. A number of fantastic works tackling themes of immigration help to reach the core of the issues that immigrants must face in their new country, particularly as they relate to generation gaps and cultural acclimation. Social sciences and ...

In our world today, there has been a huge interest in the study and understanding of the elastic properties of materials and how they are measured. It is an established fact that every solid object has a tendency to become deformed under the influence of an external force. However, the resistance offered by these solid objects against these external forces varies. This variation depends on the constituent materials of each of these solids. The resistance offered by a crystal object is greater than that of the ones made of amorphous materials. The applied external force, if large enough, can alter the size ...

Loss is an inevitable experience that may arise from the demise of a loved one as well as other life events. In most cases, individuals respond through grief, a normal process that leads to acceptance of loss. Normal or uncomplicated grief typically does not require formal treatment although grieving persons need to find the support and information they need (Zisook & Shear, 2013). However, there are individuals who experience prolonged and debilitating grief, referred to as complicated grief. Social workers play an integral role in helping individuals through the grief process by assessing for related needs as well as providing or bridging ...

Verification of Bernoulli’s Equation

Bernoulli’s Equation is among the most crucial equations in fluid mechanics. The experiment led us to conclude that this equation is an example of the initial law of Thermodynamics. In addition, the experiment verified the application of the equation to the steady state flow of an inviscid and incompressible fluid. As the fluid flows in a pipe, the changes in pressure, velocity, and elevation should be consistent in order to satisfy the equation. The restrictions in the application of Bernoulli’s Equation include a steady flow, negligible friction losses, and constant density. Our calculations also verified Bernoulli’s Equation since ...

The US Veterans Administration Healthcare System is the largest healthcare system in the world, which traces its roots back to the year 1636, the time when the Pequot Indians and the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony were at a war (Al-Assaf, & Schmele, 1993). Then in 1776, the Continental Congress has provided pensions to the disabled soldiers. In the year 1811, first medical and domiciliary facility for the veterans was, however, authorized. The veteran assistance program was extended in the 19th century for including the benefits for veterans, dependents and widows. In 1917, Congress introduced new system of the veterans, and in ...
