Suppose you're selecting materials for a frictional braking system which will be used to bring a moving body to a stop. It is imperative that you choose a braking surface material which will not thermally degrade as mechanical kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy during the braking process. You have a list of candidate materials for your braking system which includes maximum permissible average power dissipation. In order to relate average power dissipation rate to your system's mechanical properties (and select an appropriate material), what information will you need?

Mechanical energy can be stored as well as transmitted. You are applying for a job in mechanical design and system company, where you have been required to provide technical research report to examine devices which function to store mechanical energy in their operation and examine the cause of a documented case of mechanical power transmission failure and the steps taken to correct the problem and rectify any design faults. The hiring committee asked you to perform the following tasks: 1. Examine flywheel, pumped hydro-elastic strigae PHS, and compressed air energy storage CAES. 2. Examine the cause of a coupling failure of mechanical power and conclude the actions to prevent this failure (You are required to study the following research article Causes of Coupling Failures and Preventive Actions, International Journal for Research in Applied Science & Engineering Technology IJRASET), this paper is given with the assignment.

Scenario 1 Your boss, Melon Usk, wants you to determine the acceleration of his new car. The details of the car are as follows: The car's total mass is 1500 kg The motor outputs a constant torque of 300 Nm The drive train has a gear ratio of 10:1 to the drive axle Prior to any gearing, the motor and drivetrain have a moment of inertia of 0.5 kg m². The four tires are 0.6 m in diameter. A single set of final gear, drive axial, and tire has combined moment of inertia of 0.6 kg m². Not knowing how to proceed, you e-mail your favourite ex-instructor, Frank. He is very busy but draws you the following: ● ● ● ● ● ● Motor ● FT+ IM = 0.5 kg. m² TIN = 300Nm TIN Final Gear + Wheel Wheel RG Final Gear C Rw Fw Iw = 4(0.6 kg m²) = 2.4kg. m² RG = 10R Rw = 0.3m Car Fw m = 1500kg y x Frank also notes the following: You can treat all four tires, axels, and final gears as a single entity. The moments of inertia will add together but the radius will remain the same. You do not need to know the complex…

4. Storage batteries (Li ion, solid polymer electrolyte) that have small volumes and masses and high energy storage densities are in demand for both electric and hybrid vehicle applications. Estimate the smallest weight battery that could be used to provide full vehicle power for one hour of urban commuting in a family-sized five-passenger sedan. And, do some research to determine if the range (energy and mass) you calculated is realistic. Explain why or why not in 2-3 sentences. You can assume: The minimum power levels for such vehicles are 20 hp at average speeds, and the maximum power levels are 40 hp at peak acceleration. One hour of driving = 40 hp for 15 minutes + 20 hp for 45 minutes Li ion solid polymer electrolyte batteries have a specific energy density of 1400 kJ/kg

A washing machine with a mass of 60 kg and a drum radius of 15 cm, rotates at 1000 rpm and washes 3 kg of unbalanced laundry. a) How much dynamic force would be transmitted to the ground if no vibration isolation was taken from the machine?b) What would be the stiffness (k) of the visco-elastic floor if an insulation measure with a damping ratio of 0.1 was taken, which would reduce the force transmitted to the floor by 90%?
Drop-load (I)This exercise is part of a series of problems aimed at modeling a situation by progressively refining our model to take into account more and more parameters. This progressive approach is very close to what professional scientists do! context We want to lower a suspended load in a controlled way, so that it hits the ground with a speed whose modulus is not too great. To do this, the suspended load (B) is connected by a rope passing through a pulley to another mass (A), which can move on a horizontal surface. To slow down the descent, we added a spring behind the mass (A). Information The masses of the charges A and B are known.The mass of the rope itself is negligible (very small compared to the loads).The pulley has negligible mass and can rotate without friction.The charge ? is initially stationary and is at a known height h.The surface on which mass A is placed is horizontal.There is no friction between mass A and the surface on which it is placed.The string attached…
Plywood Manufacturing . A product engineer wants to optimize the cutting of strips of wood, which are used to make plywood. To cut the wood strips, the log is held in place by chucks which are inserted at each end. The log is then spun while a saw blade cuts off a thin layer of wood. The engineer measures the torque that can be applied to the chucks before they spin out of the log, under different conditions of log diameter, log temperature, and chuck penetration. Introduction and objective for this topic.

Stage Design A cable is used to support an actor as he swings onto the stage. Now suppose the tension in the cable is 920 N as the actor reaches the lowest point. What diameter should an 11-m-long steel cable have if we do not want it to stretch more than 0.50 cm under these conditions? R. Actor Sandbag SOLUTION Conceptualize Look back at the Example "A Grand Entrance," where we analyzed a cable used to support an actor as he swung onto the stage. We ignored any stretching of the cable there, but we wish to address this phenomenon in this example. Categorize We perform a simple calculation involving the equation F A Y = AL Li so we categorize this example as --Select--- v problem. Solve the Young's modulus equation for the cross-sectional area of the cable: FL; A = YAL Assuming the cross section is circular, find the diameter of the cable from d = 2r and A = ar (Use the following as necessary: F, Y, Li, AL, and r.): FL A d = 2r = 2 - = 2 Substitute numerical values.
