Two steels are being considered for manufacture of as-forged connecting rods subjected to bending loads. One is a Cr-Mo-Ni alloy steel capable of being heat-treated to a tensile strength of 240 ksi. The other is a plain carbon steel with an attainable Sut of 105 ksi. Each rod is to have a size giving an equivalent diameter de of 1 in. Determine the endurance limit for each material. Is there any advantage to using the alloy steel for this fatigue application?

Two technicians are discussing the intake air temperature (iat) sensor. technician a says that the computer uses the iat sensor as a backup to the engine coolant temperature (ect) sensor. technician b says that the powertrain control module (pcm) will subtract the calculated amount of fuel if the air measures hot. who is correct

Ajournal bearing has a journal diameter of 3.250 in with a unilateral tolerance of 20.003 in. the bushing bore has a diameter of 3.256 in and a unilateral tolerance of 0.004 in. the bushing is 2.8 in long and supports a 700-lbf load. the journal speed is 900 rev/min. find the minimum oil film thickness and the maximum film pressure for both sae 20 and sae 20w-30 lubricants, for the tightest assembly if the operating film temperature is 160°f. a computer code is appropriate for solving this problem.
