An aluminum cylinder bar ( 70 GPa E m = ) is instrumented with strain gauges and is subject to a tensile force of 5 kN. The diameter of the bar is 10 cm. The Poisson’s ratio of the bar is 0.33. A Wheatstone bridge is constructed to measure the axial strain. Gauge 1 measures the axial strain and gauge 2 measures the lateral strain.

What difference(s) did you notice using a pneumatic circuit over hydraulic circuit.explain why the pneumatic piston stumbles when it hits an obstacle.

An air conditioning system consist of a 5 cm diameter pipe, operating at a pressure of 200 kpa. the air initially enters the pipe at 15°c with a velocity of 20 m/s and relative humidity of 80%. if the heat supply throughout the process is 960 w, determine the relative humidity and the temperature at the outlet

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.
