1. Stress and Strain Calculations | 应力与应变计算

A tensile test specimen has a gauge length of 50 mm and a circular cross‑section of diameter 10 mm. During the test the maximum force recorded is 25 kN and the extension at this force is 0.2 mm.

一根拉伸试样的标距长度为 50 mm,圆形截面的直径为 10 mm。试验中记录到的最大力为 25 kN,此时的伸长量为 0.2 mm。

(a) Calculate the ultimate tensile stress.

(a) 计算极限抗拉应力。

First, find the cross‑sectional area A. For a circle,

A = π d² ÷ 4 = π × (10 mm)² ÷ 4 = 78.54 mm²

首先求截面积 A。圆截面公式为 A = π d² ÷ 4,代入 d = 10 mm,得 A = 78.54 mm²。

Stress σ = F / A. Convert force to Newtons: 25 kN = 25 000 N.

σ = 25 000 N ÷ 78.54 mm² = 318.3 N/mm² = 318.3 MPa

应力 σ = F / A。将力换算为牛顿:25 kN = 25 000 N。σ = 25 000 N ÷ 78.54 mm² = 318.3 N/mm²,即 318.3 MPa。

(b) Calculate the strain at maximum force.

(b) 计算最大力时的应变。

Strain ε = extension ÷ original gauge length = ΔL / L₀.

ε = 0.2 mm ÷ 50 mm = 0.004

应变 ε = 伸长量 ÷ 原始标距 = ΔL / L₀。ε = 0.2 mm ÷ 50 mm = 0.004。

Alternatively, strain can be expressed as a percentage: 0.4 %. No units are required for strain.

应变也可用百分比表示:0.4 %。应变没有单位。

Examiner tip: always work in consistent units – for stress, N and mm² give MPa directly.

考官提示:务必保持单位一致——采用牛顿和平方毫米可以直接得到 MPa。


2. Bending Moment and Stress in a Beam | 梁的弯矩与弯曲应力

A simply supported beam of length 3 m carries a concentrated load of 10 kN at its centre. The beam has a solid rectangular cross‑section 100 mm wide and 150 mm deep.

一根简支梁长度为 3 m,跨中承受 10 kN 的集中载荷。梁的截面为实心矩形,宽 100 mm,深 150 mm。

(a) Determine the maximum bending moment experienced by the beam.

(a) 求梁承受的最大弯矩。

For a simply supported beam with a central point load, the maximum bending moment occurs at mid‑span and is given by M = P L / 4.

M = (10 000 N × 3 m) ÷ 4 = 7 500 N m

对于中央作用集中载荷的简支梁,最大弯矩发生在跨中,公式为 M = P L / 4。M = (10 000 N × 3 m) ÷ 4 = 7 500 N·m。

(b) Calculate the maximum bending stress in the beam.

(b) 计算梁的最大弯曲应力。

Bending stress σ = M y / I, where y is the distance from the neutral axis to the outermost fibre, and I is the second moment of area.

弯曲应力 σ = M y / I,其中 y 是中性轴到最外纤维的距离,I 是截面惯性矩。

For a rectangle, I = b d³ / 12. Convert dimensions to metres: b = 0.1 m, d = 0.15 m.

I = 0.1 × (0.15)³ ÷ 12 = 2.8125 × 10⁻⁵ m⁴

矩形截面的惯性矩 I = b d³ / 12。将尺寸转换为米:b = 0.1 m,d = 0.15 m。I = 0.1 × (0.15)³ ÷ 12 = 2.8125 × 10⁻⁵ m⁴。

The extreme fibre distance y = d/2 = 0.075 m. Now substitute:

σ = (7 500 N m × 0.075 m) ÷ 2.8125 × 10⁻⁵ m⁴ = 20.0 × 10⁶ Pa = 20 MPa

最外纤维距离 y = d/2 = 0.075 m。代入公式:σ = (7 500 N·m × 0.075 m) ÷ 2.8125 × 10⁻⁵ m⁴ = 20.0 × 10⁶ Pa = 20 MPa。

The maximum bending stress is 20 MPa, which is well below typical yield strengths of structural steel.

最大弯曲应力为 20 MPa,远低于结构钢的典型屈服强度。


3. Ohm’s Law and Series Circuits | 欧姆定律与串联电路

A 12 V battery is connected in series with two resistors: R₁ = 100 Ω and R₂ = 200 Ω.

一个 12 V 电池与两个电阻串联:R₁ = 100 Ω,R₂ = 200 Ω。

(a) Find the total resistance of the circuit.

(a) 计算电路的总电阻。

For series resistors, R_total = R₁ + R₂ = 100 Ω + 200 Ω = 300 Ω.

串联电阻总值为 R_total = R₁ + R₂ = 100 Ω + 200 Ω = 300 Ω。

(b) Calculate the current flowing in the circuit.

(b) 计算电路中的电流。

Using Ohm’s law, V = I R → I = V / R_total = 12 V / 300 Ω = 0.04 A = 40 mA.

根据欧姆定律 V = I R,得 I = V / R_total = 12 V / 300 Ω = 0.04 A = 40 mA。

(c) Determine the voltage across each resistor.

(c) 计算每个电阻两端的电压。

Voltage across R₁: V₁ = I × R₁ = 0.04 A × 100 Ω = 4 V.
Voltage across R₂: V₂ = I × R₂ = 0.04 A × 200 Ω = 8 V.

R₁ 两端的电压 V₁ = I × R₁ = 0.04 A × 100 Ω = 4 V。R₂ 两端的电压 V₂ = I × R₂ = 0.04 A × 200 Ω = 8 V。

Check: the sum 4 V + 8 V equals the supply 12 V, confirming Kirchhoff’s voltage law.

验证:4 V + 8 V = 12 V,与电源电压相等,符合基尔霍夫电压定律。


4. Logic Gates and Boolean Expressions | 逻辑门与布尔表达式

Consider a logic circuit where inputs A and B are fed into an AND gate, and the output of this gate together with input C is fed into an OR gate. The final output is Q.

分析以下逻辑电路:输入 A 和 B 进入一个与门,与门的输出与输入 C 一起进入一个或门,最终输出为 Q。

(a) Write the Boolean expression for Q.

(a) 写出 Q 的布尔表达式。

The AND output is (A AND B). This is combined with C using an OR gate. Hence, Q = (A AND B) OR C. In Boolean notation, Q = (A · B) + C.

与门输出为 (A AND B),再与 C 通过或门组合,因此 Q = (A AND B) OR C。布尔代数表示为 Q = (A · B) + C。

(b) Construct the truth table.

(b) 列出真值表。

A B C A AND B Q = (A AND B) OR C
0 0 0 0 0
0 0 1 0 1
0 1 0 0 0
0 1 1 0 1
1 0 0 0 0
1 0 1 0 1
1 1 0 1 1
1 1 1 1 1

The truth table shows Q is 1 when C is 1 or when both A and B are 1.

真值表显示,当 C 为 1 或 A 与 B 同时为 1 时,Q 输出 1。


5. Material Selection Using Specific Strength | 基于比强度的材料选择

A lightweight structural component must carry high tensile loads. The design brief calls for the highest specific strength (tensile strength divided by density).

一种轻质结构件需承受高拉伸载荷,设计要求比强度(抗拉强度与密度之比)尽可能高。

Study the data in the table and recommend a material.

分析下表中的数据并推荐一种材料。

Material Tensile Strength (MPa) Density (kg/m³) Specific Strength (MPa·m³/kg)
Aluminium alloy 7075 570 2800 0.204
Titanium alloy Ti‑6Al‑4V 950 4430 0.214
Mild steel (0.2% carbon) 450 7850 0.057
Carbon fibre composite (unidirectional) 1500 1600 0.938

Specific strength = tensile strength (MPa) / density (kg/m³). The carbon fibre composite achieves 0.938 MPa·m³/kg, far exceeding the metals.

比强度 = 抗拉强度 (MPa) / 密度 (kg/m³)。碳纤维复合材料的比强度为 0.938 MPa·m³/kg,远超所列金属。

Recommendation: Use carbon fibre composite because it offers the highest specific strength, giving the best strength‑to‑weight ratio. However, cost and manufacturing complexity must also be considered.

推荐意见:选用碳纤维复合材料,因为它比强度最高,提供了最佳的强度‑重量比。但同时也需考虑成本和制造复杂程度。


6. Manufacturing Processes: Casting vs. CNC Machining | 制造工艺:铸造与数控加工对比

A batch of 500 aluminium brackets is required. Discuss whether sand casting or CNC machining would be more suitable.

需要生产 500 个铝制支架,试讨论砂型铸造与数控加工哪种更合适。

Sand casting offers low tooling costs and can produce complex shapes with internal cavities. It is ideal for medium‑ to large‑volume production of non‑critical parts because the dimensional tolerance is moderate (±1 mm). The surface finish is rough, often requiring fettling or machining of mating surfaces.

砂型铸造的模具成本低,并能制造带有内腔的复杂形状。它非常适合中等至大批量生产非关键零件,因为尺寸公差适中 (±1 mm)。表面光洁度较粗糙,通常需要清整或对配合面进行机加工。

CNC machining delivers excellent dimensional accuracy (±0.05 mm) and a superior surface finish, but the per‑part cost is high due to cutting tools, programming time and material waste from machining from solid billet.

数控加工可提供出色的尺寸精度 (±0.05 mm) 和优异的表面光洁度,但每个零件的成本较高,原因在于刀具、编程时间以及从实心坯料加工所产生的材料浪费。

For 500 units, sand casting is more economical if design tolerances allow. Post‑casting drilling of holes can ensure accurate mounting points. If high precision is mandatory, a hybrid approach (cast near‑net shape, then CNC finish) can balance cost and quality.

当产量为 500 件时,若设计公差允许,砂型铸造更为经济。通过铸后钻孔可保证安装点的精度。若必须高精度,则采用混合工艺(铸造近净成形,再数控精加工)可兼顾成本与质量。


7. CAD/CAM and Quality Assurance | CAD/CAM 与质量保证

Explain how a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) working with CAD data can improve quality assurance.

解释与 CAD 数据配合使用的坐标测量机 (CMM) 如何改进质量保证。

A CMM uses a probe to record the XYZ coordinates of points on a manufactured part. These coordinates are compared in real time to the nominal CAD model. Deviations are displayed on a report, allowing quick identification of out‑of‑tolerance features.

CMM 利用测头记录制成件上各点的 XYZ 坐标,并将这些坐标与标称 CAD 模型进行实时比较。偏差会显示在报告中,从而快速识别超差特征。

Computer‑Aided Manufacturing (CAM) translates the CAD design directly into machine code (G‑code). This tight integration reduces human error and ensures the part produced matches the digital twin exactly.

计算机辅助制造 (CAM) 可将 CAD 设计直接转化为机器代码 (G 代码)。这种紧密集成减少了人为错误,并确保制造出的零件与数字孪生完全匹配。

Together, CAD/CAM and CMM form a closed‑loop quality system: design → manufacture → measure → compare → correct. It supports statistical process control and total quality management.

CAD/CAM 与 CMM 共同构成了一个闭环质量体系:设计 → 制造 → 测量 → 比较 → 修正。这为统计过程控制和全面质量管理提供了支持。


8. Health and Safety in the Workshop | 车间健康与安全

Identify three hazards in a typical engineering workshop and state a control measure for each.

指出典型工程车间中的三种危害,并分别说明一项控制措施。

  • Hazard: Rotating machinery (lathe chuck). Entanglement can cause severe injury.
    Control: Fixed guarding and emergency stop button within reach.
  • 危害:旋转机械(车床卡盘)。 卷入可能导致严重伤害。
    控制措施:固定式防护罩和伸手可及的紧急停止按钮。
  • Hazard: Welding fumes. Inhalation of metal oxide particles can damage lungs.
    Control: Local exhaust ventilation (LEV) and respiratory protective equipment (RPE).
  • 危害:焊接烟尘。 吸入金属氧化物颗粒会损害肺部。
    控制措施:局部排风 (LEV) 和呼吸防护用品 (RPE)。
  • Hazard: Manual handling of heavy stock. Risk of back injury.
    Control: Use mechanical aids such as a hoist or trolley, and provide manual handling training.
  • 危害:人工搬运重物。 有背部损伤的风险。
    控制措施:使用起重装置或推车等机械辅助工具,并提供人工搬运培训。

All control measures must be recorded in a risk assessment and reviewed regularly.

所有控制措施都必须记录在风险评估中并定期审查。


9. Sustainable Engineering and Life Cycle Assessment | 可持续工程与生命周期评估

A company is designing a new electric kettle. Describe how a life cycle assessment (LCA) could reduce environmental impact.

某公司正在设计一款新电热水壶,试述如何通过生命周期评估 (LCA) 减少环境影响。

LCA examines impacts at every stage: raw material extraction, manufacturing, distribution, use, and end‑of‑life. For the kettle, the team can choose recyclable polymers, minimise packaging, and design for disassembly so components can be easily separated for recycling.

LCA 会审视每个阶段的影响:原材料开采、制造、分销、使用和废弃处理。对于水壶,团队可选择可回收聚合物,减少包装,并采用可拆解设计,使部件易于分离回收。

During the use phase, energy efficiency is critical – a shorter boil time and better insulation lower electricity consumption and carbon footprint. The design should also avoid hazardous substances to comply with RoHS regulations.

使用阶段的能效至关重要——缩短煮沸时间、改善保温性能可降低电耗和碳足迹。设计还应避免使用有害物质,以符合 RoHS 法规。

At end‑of‑life, parts marked with polymer identification codes enable closed‑loop recycling, moving towards a circular economy.

在废弃处理阶段,标注聚合物识别码的零件可实现闭环回收,从而迈向循环经济。


10. The Engineering Design Process | 工程设计流程

Outline the main stages of the engineering design process and explain why it is iterative.

概述工程设计流程的主要阶段,并说明其为何是迭代的。

The engineering design process typically includes: problem definition, research, specification, concept generation, evaluation and selection, detailed design, prototyping, testing, and final implementation. Feedback from testing frequently reveals shortcomings that require returning to earlier stages – hence the process is iterative, not linear.

工程设计流程通常包括:问题定义、调研、规格说明、方案构思、评估与筛选、详细设计、原型制作、测试和最终实施。测试反馈往往暴露出需要重新返回早期阶段的缺陷——因此这是一个迭代而非线性的过程。

Iteration is essential because real‑world performance rarely matches the first prediction. Each cycle refines the design, making it safer, more efficient, or more cost‑effective. CCEA questions often assess your ability to suggest when and why a designer would loop back.

迭代至关重要,因为实际情况很少与首次预测完全一致。每个循环都能完善设计,使其更安全、更高效或
