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
A Type I offshore life jacket (i.e. personal flotation device) is the type worn by commercial fishermen - it is
designed for extended survival in rough, open seawater. Consider such a life jacket that uses an impermeable
foam material with a density of 32 kg/m³ - the other parts of the life jacket (straps, fasteners, etc) weigh 0.6 kg
and are of negligible volume to the design.
a) Draw a free body force diagram for the life jacket.
b) Determine the minimum volume of foam material (in L) that is needed for the life jacket in order to
provide a minimum 98 N net upward force when it is fully submerged in seawater (as required by US
Coast Guard regulations).
