Answer to Problem C.6E

y=0.510=9.5.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

y=0.5w,wherex=[2648210694].

x=[2648210694] and w=[56789].

Calculation:

Using matrices we can determine value of y=0.5w, before we must understand matrices.

It most popular applications for engineering curricula it like a vector, here we demonstrate some example how to use MATLAB for solving matrices. A vector is important type of a matrix which has single row or column. An instance of matrix is:

A=[957864421].

Every matrix has certain size depending on its number element exist in the column and rows, such as in above example size of A= 3×3 means three rows and three columns. The command which give size of matrix is size, for example it can be written in MATLAB command format “size(A)” then it would return “3 3” for above matrix.

We can find a position of each element in matrix as first column and first row means we could written as a11 and the value would be 9.

Suppose we require to take element such a1.1, a1.2, a2.1, and a22, and many more then we should enter as A(1:2,1:2)..

now come to given problem, x= [2 64 82 106 94] and w=[5 6 7 8 9]..

By using MATLAB, multiply matrices of same size x=1×1 and w=1×1.

Multiplying first row of first matrices and second matrices of first row then it results 10.

So y=0.510=9.5.

Some common method for multiplying two matrices shown below.

A=[a1,1a1,2a2,1a2,2]B=[b1,1b1,2b2,1b2,2].

A*B Becomes.

[a1,1a1,2a2,1a2,2] × [b1,1b1,2b2,1b2,2]= [(a1,1×b1,1+a1,2×b2,1)(a1,1×b1,2+a1,2×b2,2)(a2,1×b1,1+a2,2×b2,1)(a2,1×b1,2+a2,2×b2,2)].

Conclusion:

MATLAB follows the matrices rules so we must write in matrix form.

20. [Ans. 9; 71.8 mm] A semi-elliptical laminated spring is made of 50 mm wide and 3 mm thick plates. The length between the supports is 650 mm and the width of the band is 60 mm. The spring has two full length leaves and five graduated leaves. If the spring carries a central load of 1600 N, find: 1. Maximum stress in full length and graduated leaves for an initial condition of no stress in the leaves. 2. The maximum stress if the initial stress is provided to cause equal stress when loaded. [Ans. 590 MPa ; 390 MPa ; 450 MPa ; 54 mm] 3. The deflection in parts (1) and (2).
Q6/ A helical square section spring is set inside another, the outer spring having a free length of 35 mm greater than the inner spring. The dimensions of each spring are as follows: Mean diameter (mm) Side of square section (mm) Active turns Outer Inner Spring Spring 120 70 8 7 20 15 Determine the (1) Maximum deflection of the two springs and (2) Equivalent spring rate of the two springs after sufficient load has been applied to deflect the outer spring 60 mm. Use G = 83 GN/m².
