Answer to Problem 1QAP

The brief description of two stages involved in the formation of particles of a new phase is explained below.

Explanation of Solution

The two stages involved in the formation of particles of a new phase are:

  • Nucleation
  • Growth

Nucleation:

The development of very miniature nuclei of a new phase from the parent phase, similar to embryo is known as nucleation. There are two types of nucleation, heterogeneous and homogeneous nucleation.

In heterogeneous nucleation, nuclei produce at non-homogeneous structures, like surface of container, boundaries of grain and so on.

In homogeneous nucleation, nuclei or particles produce within parent phase.

Growth:

The growing phase of the particle is called as growth. In this phase, the particles transform into a stable nucleus and the size of embryo got bigger than the decisive shape. The process of growth forms a new phase nuclei within the parent phase. The process of growing continues till the new formed nuclei got stable and replace the parent nuclei.

An office building is planned with a lateral-force-resisting system designed for earthquake resistance in aseismic zone. The seismic capacity of the proposed system, expressed as a force factor, is assumed tofollow a lognormal distribution with a median of 6.5 and a standard deviation of 1.5. The ground motionfrom the largest expected earthquake at the site is estimated to correspond to an equivalent force factor of 5.5.(a) What is the estimated probability that the building will experience damage when subjected to the largest expected earthquake? (b) If the building survives (i.e., experiences no damage) during a previous moderate earthquake with aforce factor of 4.0, what is the updated probability of failure of the building under the largest expectedearthquake?(c) Suppose future occurrences of the largest expected earthquake follow a Poisson process with a mean return period of 500 years. Assuming that damage events from different earthquakes are statisticallyindependent,…
