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…

Q1- Answer with true or false and rewrite the false statements completely in
correct form, otherwise no mark will be put on the false statements.
1
2
To represent a location on earth surface you need to define its altitude and longitude
angles.
3
Solar zenith and solar incidence angles have the same value for horizontal surface.
At sunset time the value of solar altitude angle is maximum.
4
The angle which represents the inclination of a given surface is the zenith angle
5

7
8
When the absolute value of sun-wall azimuth angle exceeds 90' this means that the sun
rays are reaching the receiving plane.
The solar irradiance and the solar irradiation have the same physical meaning.
In the case of clear sky weather, the beam solar irradiation on a horizontal surface is less
than the diffused irradiation.
The total solar radiation received by a tilted surface is the same as that…

Part 2
Set up a spreadsheet solution to this problem. This will require that you derive one
formula to express the relationship between the friction coefficient, the spring constant,
and the spring compression; and a second formula to find the cost of using different slide
and spring types. Set up your spreadsheet as shown below. You can fill in the
"Acceptable?" column manually, rather than using a formula. Turn in a copy of your

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.

Case Study: Paula’s Pain
Paula has worked for Brindle Corporation for 3 years. During this time, she has worked as a machine operator/cell leader in various work cells. Recently, the plant went to mandatory 12-hour shifts and plans to remain on this schedule for several months.
Paula’s present work cell is manufacturing 3-inch diameter exhaust tubes that are made from stainless steel. These tubes get a hole punched in them, a flange welded on, and burrs ground off. The pipe then gets placed into a gage to check that it was made correctly. (The tubes weigh about six pounds.)
Paula has been performing the welding operation. She leans into the machine and loads the part into a fixture then positions the flange. Both pieces are clamped (using hand clamps) into position and the machine is cycled by depressing two palm buttons.
The gaging operation requires placing the finished part into the gage and clamping it (using hand clamps) into place. A pin is depressed to verify the position…

NOTE: If you refuse to answers all 3 parts and insist on wasting my question, then just leave it for someone else to answer. I've never had an issue until recently one single tutor just refuses to even read the instructions of the question and just denies it for a false reasons or drags on 1 part into multiple parts for no reason.
