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…
In Part B, it was shown that the tension in a cable is constant around a frictionless pulley. The reason why the equations of equilibrium could be used here is because the
values of 0 and o are not arbitrary. In fact, the geometry of the system is based on the equations of equilibrium and a relationship between 0 and o can be determined
using them.
Part D - Finding the relationship between \theta and \phi
Figure
Find the relationship between angles e and o using the equations of equilibrium and solve for 0. Suppose that the angles are expressed in radians.
Express your equation for 0 in terms of ø. Express your answer in radians.
