...Title: Bone Mechanics Objectives:- -To become familiar with LabView software and National Instruments, in order to record and observe the strain signals from chicken bone and an aluminum rod. Background: Data acquisition is the use of computer software connected to a measuring device. Signals and measurements are recorded, which is converted into a digital signal only understood by a computer. Data is recorded at a certain speed that is processed in real time, and can be immediately interpreted by the user. For this lab, LabView Software was used as the main hub of the data acquisition system. LabView mainly consists of the Front Panel and Block Diagram, of which the Front Panel is the user interface and the Block Diagram is where the graphing codes are written for the application. In this lab the strain response of two different materials were measured as stress was applied to them. The materials were an aluminum rod and a chicken bone. Strain (ᵋ) is the change of length of the material over the initial length. As we increase the stress on the material, there will be an increase on the strain on the material as well. Stress is the force (F) over cross-sectional area (A) applied on the material. The area is constant, so stress can be assumed to be directly proportional to the force applied. In this lab, heavy objects (metal bolts) were hung from the chicken bone to apply stress. Gravity (G) is mass...

...Purdue University Calumet College of Technology Department of Mechanical Engineering Technology MET 21100 – Strength of Materials Torsion Lab Experiment Performed: 4/3/14 Report Due Date: 4/17/14 Report Submitted: 4/17/14 Joshua Deakin Prepared for Aaron Kolb Introduction: In the designing of buildings and structures, torsion, or torque could be applied to certain members. Most times, torsion is found at almost all times in a vehicle, on each axle, the driveshaft, and many others parts in a vehicle. These members all need to withstand the angular moment or load that is acted on it. You do not want to step on the gas, and your driveshaft or axles snapping. You wouldn’t be going anywhere anytime soon. The torsion test primarily measures, at a certain moment or load, how much the bar or specimen is twisting and at what angle. This test can also be done in reverse order measuring the angle first, and recording the torque on the test material. The testing of a “torque-angle” graph can be somewhat similar to a “stress-strain” curve. There are a few different types of torsion tests * Torsion only: applying only a torque (what we had done) * Axial-torsion: Applying and axial, as in tension or compression, and a torsion force to the specimen * Failure: applying the load until the specimen fails, which includes a physical break, kink or other defect in the specimen * Proof: In this test, you apply a torsion and hold that force for an extended period...

...Experiment #3 Venturi Meter Fluid Mechanics Lab Abstract Flow rate is a common measurement which often needs to be performed. A venturi meter allows the flow rate in a pipe to be determined from a pressure differential. A venturi narrows the diameter of the pipe for a short duration, converting pressure head to velocity head. Through this pressure differential, Bernoulli’s equation, and the known dimensions of the venturi, the flow rate of the incompressible fluid can be determined. I h1 hthroat ntroduction Q Figure 1: Venturi Meter Concept Pressure is measured at the point h1 and hthroat. As seen in Figure 1, the point hthroat is known as the vena contracta – this is where the velocity is at its maximum. Listed in Table 1 are the venturi dimensions. Athroat is the cross-sectional area of the throat, where hthroat is measured; A1 is the area at the point where h1 is measured. Table 1: Venturi Data A1 (d1) | Athroat (dthroat) | 0.0021 m2 (0.026 m) | 0.00080 m2 (0.016 m) | Because the amount of energy in the flowing fluid must be conserved, the pressure drop occurring is easily used to measure the velocity of the fluid in the throat. This is converted to volumetric flow rate by multiplying the cross-sectional area. Procedure The venturi meter experiment is initiated by closing the valves on the hydraulic bench, turning on the pump, and slowly opening them to ensure that water is flowing. Open the air valve atop the manometer bank and adjust...

We accomplished this by placing our specimen at a time into a universal testing machine (UTM), which, under computer control, slowly increased the tension force on each specimen, stretching each until failure. Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to extract data on the material properties one specimen (aluminum), using a mechanically driven universal testing machine (UTM). The material properties include the following: the elastic modulus, 0.2% offset yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, modulus of rupture, modulus of resilience, as well as true strain and true stress at the point of rupture. Theory: Certain materials (those that are linear, homogeneous, elastic, and isotropic) can be described by their material properties. These properties include the modulus of elasticity, modulus of toughness, modulus of resilience, ultimate tensile strength, and yield strength. Once established by experimental means, these properties are then applied to all instances of that material undergoing the same type of stress...

...UNIVERSITY OF AUCKLAND DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING ENCI790 RESEARCH PROPOSAL: “An evaluation and survey of methods available for converting biomass into fuels” Candidate: Surya Sappa Supervisors: Professor John Chen Doctor Robert Kirkpatrick ABSTRACT Biofuel technologies have become more and more prominent in addressing the need for a continuous supply of fuels. Biofuels are fuels that are produced through the biological process of converting biomass/biowaste into a fuel source to reduce the negative impacts faced by fossil fuels combustion (reduction in greenhouse gasses) and availability of supply. Biofuels can be derived from a wide variety of biomass, and are categorised into four generations: First generation biofuels are made from sugars, starches, oil, and animal fats that are converted into fuel using already-known processes or technologies. These fuels include biodiesel, bioalcohols, ethanol, and biogases, like methane captured from landfill decomposition. Second generation biofuels are made from non-food crops or agricultural waste, especially ligno-cellulosic biomass like switch-grass, willow, or wood chips. Third generation biofuels are made from algae or other quickly growing biomass sources. Fourth generation biofuels are made from specially engineered plants or biomass that may have higher energy yields or lower barriers to cellulosic breakdown or are able to be grown on non-agricultural land or bodies of water...

Chapter 2 Theory Motion: In physics, motion is a change in position of an object with respect to time. Motion is typically described in terms of velocity, acceleration, displacement, and time. Motion is observed by attaching a frame of reference to a body and measuring its change in position relative to another reference frame. A body which does not move is said to be at rest, motionless, immobile, stationary, or to have constant (time-invariant) position. An object's motion cannot change unless it is acted upon by a force, as described by Newton's first law. An object's momentum is directly related to the object's mass and velocity, and the total momentum of all objects in...

Stiffness is a measure of the resistance of a material to deformation under applied force. Resonant frequencies are the frequencies that a system appears to oscillate at greater amplitudes. Content Introduction pg.2 Theoretical calculations and background information pg.2 Experimental design and procedure pg.4 Analysis result and conclusion pg.7 Reflection to other experiment pg.9 Introduction The purpose of this dynamic Lab is to measure the stiffness and resonant frequencies of a coupled oscillator on an air track. Four experiments will be taken in order to see the behaviour and performance of the rubbers connecting the trolleys. Calculate theoretical results by using background information. Comparisons of theoretical and experimental results will be done to see errors and find conclusions. Resonant frequencies are the frequencies that a system oscillates at greater amplitudes. This type of oscillations is what makes systems to vibrate many times. On the other hand, stiffness is a measurement of the ability a material have to extend without deformation. Low stiffness can result in failure of a system and high stiffness is required in the design of systems that deformation...
