Explanation of Solution

The point-to-point connection method is a method used for the installation of components in a control circuit. The wires in the control circuit are given a wire number, but not for the wires in the load circuit. Dashed lines are used to represent the components located in MCC (motor control center). The components are connected from one point to another based on the proximity of the components.

The advantages of the point-to-point method of connecting components are as follows:

  • Saves the mount of wire required by reducing the wastage of wire.
  • The connections inside and outside the motor control center can be distinguished.
  • The wire tags and the real terminal designations are shown.
  • It is easy to troubleshoot and service.
  • It is easy to identify the components.

Recall that the CWH equation involves two important assumptions. Let us investigate how these assumptions affect the accuracy of state trajectories under the control inputs optimized in (a) and (b). (c.1): Discuss the assumptions about the chief and deputy orbits that are necessary for deriving CWH.
PROBLEM 2.50 1.8 m The concrete post (E-25 GPa and a = 9.9 x 10°/°C) is reinforced with six steel bars, each of 22-mm diameter (E, = 200 GPa and a, = 11.7 x 10°/°C). Determine the normal stresses induced in the steel and in the concrete by a temperature rise of 35°C. 6c " 0.391 MPa 240 mm 240 mm 6₁ = -9.47 MPa
For some viscoelastic polymers that are subjected to stress relaxation tests, the stress decays with time according to a(t) = a(0) exp(-4) (15.10) where σ(t) and o(0) represent the time-dependent and initial (i.e., time = 0) stresses, respectively, and t and T denote elapsed time and the relaxation time, respectively; T is a time-independent constant characteristic of the material. A specimen of a viscoelastic polymer whose stress relaxation obeys Equation 15.10 was suddenly pulled in tension to a measured strain of 0.5; the stress necessary to maintain this constant strain was measured as a function of time. Determine E (10) for this material if the initial stress level was 3.5 MPa (500 psi), which dropped to 0.5 MPa (70 psi) after 30 s.
