State the formula for:
- the actual mechanical advantage (AMA) of wedge;
- the ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) of wedge.
Explain why the engineer choose plain carbon steel instead of alloy steel ? justify your answer with suitable references regarding the advantage of plain carbon steel mechanical properties and other suitable properties related to your chosen design/building.
d) A common process for the assembly of compound cylinders is thermal shrink-
fitting. In your own words,
Describe briefly how this procedure may be performed.
Explain with reference to solid mechanics concepts, how a thermal
shrink-fit can generate forces which hold the cylinders together and
enable higher pressure bearing capability (in comparison to a
single cylinder).
Considering the concepts/principles explained above, describe more
generally an alternative method for achieving such improved
performance and describe advantages/disadvantages, if any, over a
thermal shrink-fitting procedure.

- Analyse, using the results, how each component failed and justify how each component’s design could be improved. Figure 1 The 220mm-long bolt was used to fasten one of the engine mount to a supporting structure. In an effort to prevent the bolt from coming loose, the torque-prevailing nut and split pin were utilized to tighten the bolt. The bolt held through an aluminum housing. Due to the reduced stiffness of the fastened parts, the bolt supported a greater proportion of the applied force. The bolt's size necessitated a high tightening torque of 660 Nm (487 Lbft). Since this level of torque could not be achieved with the tools at the time, this torque was not specified. The aluminum's maximum bearing pressure was far exceeded by the bearing stress under the nut's head and face. As a result, there was excessive preload loss due to creep. fan shaft First of all, the fan shaft was required to be made of cold-drawn 1040 or 1045 steel with a yield strength of 586 MPa and the expected…arrow_forwardwith detailed step by step solution and direction please.arrow_forwardYour solution must contain an explanation and diagram.
