Answer 1:
A.
The Unsafe Acts:
Trying to modify the machine without turning off the power was one of the risky behaviors. Using both hands to reach into the machine while it was still running. Using her leg to unintentionally press the one-button actuating control.
B.
The Unsafe Conditions:
Among the dangerous situations were ones where the material was not properly aligned
with the stencil and the holding fixture's securing device was broken.
C.
The Energies Involved:
The worker's body was too close to the one-button actuation control, making it easily activated by accident. The worker could not have been injured by the fixture clamps or feed mechanism on the machine because it required sufficient protection or sensors.
D.
The steps to be taken to prevent this situation from Recurring:
Machine guarding improvements like interlocking guards will limit access to dangerous areas. To reduce unintentional activations, control buttons should be moved, and a two-
handed control mechanism put in place. Apply Engineering control, risk control and do an audit of the high-risk injuries area regularly. It is essential to have thorough training on correct protocols and the significance of turning off the power before making any alterations. All these actions will make the workplace safer.
Answer 2:
It is my recommendation to put in place a thorough safety management system for the plant's hazardous equipment, such as the zinc plating machine. A safety management system is an arrangement of guidelines, protocols, and practices designed to stop or lessen the possibility of accidents, diseases, and property damage resulting from work-related activities. Several essential components of a safety management system include:
A.
Employee involvement and consultation:
Employees should be involved in the detection, evaluation, and mitigation of dangers as well as the assessment and enhancement of safety performance. Identification and assessment of hazards and risks: It is important to actively identify and evaluate the risks
and hazards related to the plating machine and other equipment, and to document and share the findings.
B.
Control and elimination of hazards: The hierarchy of controls, which gives priority to engineering, administrative, and personal protective measures, should be used to remove or reduce the risks and hazards.
C.
Training and instruction: The employees need to receive instruction on how to safely operate, maintain, and repair the plating machine and other equipment in addition to learning about emergency protocols and first aid techniques.

Q1/ Design a thin cylindrical pressure tank (pressure vessel) with hemispherical ends to the
automotive industry, shown in figure I below. Design for an infinite life by finding the
appropriate thickness of the vessel to carry a sinusoidal pressure varied from {(-0.1) to (6) Mpa}.

Question 2
You are a biomedical engineer working for a small orthopaedic firm that fabricates rectangular shaped fracture
fixation plates from titanium alloy (model = "Ti Fix-It") materials. A recent clinical report documents some problems with the plates
implanted into fractured limbs. Specifically, some plates have become permanently bent while patients are in rehab and doing partial
weight bearing activities.
Your boss asks you to review the technical report that was generated by the previous test engineer (whose job you now have!) and used to
verify the design. The brief report states the following... "Ti Fix-It plates were manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V (grade 5) and machined into
solid 150 mm long beams with a 4 mm thick and 15 mm wide cross section. Each Ti Fix-It plate was loaded in equilibrium in a 4-point bending
test (set-up configuration is provided in drawing below), with an applied load of 1000N. The maximum stress in this set-up was less than the
yield stress for the…

Question 3
You are working on a design team at a small orthopaedic firm. Your team is starting to work on a lower limb
(foot-ankle) prosthesis for individuals who have undergone foot amputation (bone resection at the distal tibia). You remember hearing
about "osseointegration" in an exciting orthopaedic engineering class you attended at Clemson, so you plan to attach the foot
prosthesis using a solid metal rod inserted into the distal tibia. You think stainless steel or titanium alloy might be a useful rod material.
You decide to begin this problem by identifying typical tibial bone anatomy and mechanical behavior (as provided in the tables and
image below). You assume the tibial bone can be modeled as a hollow cylinder of cortical bone, as represented in the image. You
anticipate the length of the rod will be 1/2 the length of the tibia.
Q3G: Critical Thinking: What would you propose to your team as the next step in this analysis? Is it reasonable to assume the rod
will experience the…

Case Study – The New Engineer
Jeff was just hired by GSI, Inc. to be their Environmental and Safety Coordinator. This is Jeff's first position after completing his engineering degree. He had taken a course in safety engineering as part of his studies and felt confident that he could handle the job.
Management at GSI, Inc. has assured him that they are committed to maintaining a safe workplace. They have never had an individual dedicated to this task full-time. They will implement his recommendations if he can justify them.
As Jeff begins to get familiar with the operations, he spends considerable time on the production floor. He notices workers clean their tools before break with a liquid from an unmarked 55-gallon drum. They also use this liquid to clean residue from their skin. They use paper towels to dry their tools and hands, throw these towels in the trash, and head to the break room for a snack and/or smoke.
