Thin film Coatings (Multiple interfaces, assume normal incidence) a. Calculate the thickness for a Si3N4 coating to minimize R for an air-to-Si3N4-to-Si interface at wavelength=500nm. Calculate R(500nm) and R(1000nm) for this thickness and compare to airto-Si results.

Coiled springs ought to be very strong and stiff. si3n4 is a strong, stiff material. would you select this material for a spring? explain.

Aplate clutch has a single pair of mating friction surfaces 250-mm od by 175-mm id. the mean value of the coefficient of friction is 0.30, and the actuating force is 4 kn. a) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-wear model. b) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-pressure model.

Select any two (2) areas of applications of chain-drive. (clo4) a)-permanent lubrication necessary b)-hydraulic forklift truck operation c)-rigging and heavy moving materials d)-relatively high maintenance costs e)-costlier than belt drives
