2. Problem 1: Bending Stress in a Cantilever Beam | 问题 1:悬臂梁的弯曲应力
A cantilever beam of length 1.2 m supports a concentrated vertical load of 800 N at its free end. The beam has a solid rectangular cross-section with width b = 50 mm and depth d = 80 mm. Determine the maximum bending stress in the beam and state whether a steel with yield strength 250 MPa would be safe under a safety factor of 1.6.
一根长 1.2 m 的悬臂梁在其自由端承受 800 N 的集中垂直载荷。梁截面为实心矩形,宽度 b = 50 mm,深度 d = 80 mm。试计算梁内的最大弯曲应力,并判断屈服强度为 250 MPa 的钢材在安全系数 1.6 的情况下是否安全。
Step 1 – Maximum bending moment. For a cantilever with end point load, the peak moment occurs at the fixed support: Mmax = F × L = 800 N × 1.2 m = 960 N·m.
步骤 1 – 最大弯矩。对于端部受集中力的悬臂梁,峰值弯矩出现在固定端:Mmax = F × L = 800 N × 1.2 m = 960 N·m。
Step 2 – Section modulus. For a rectangular section, Z = (b × d²)/6. Convert dimensions to metres: b = 0.05 m, d = 0.08 m. Z = (0.05 × 0.08²)/6 = (0.05 × 0.0064)/6 = 0.00032/6 = 5.333 × 10⁻⁵ m³.
步骤 2 – 截面模量。对于矩形截面,Z = (b × d²)/6。将尺寸转换为米:b = 0.05 m, d = 0.08 m。Z = (0.05 × 0.08²)/6 = (0.05 × 0.0064)/6 = 0.00032/6 = 5.333 × 10⁻⁵ m³。
Step 3 – Bending stress. σb = M / Z = 960 N·m / 5.333 × 10⁻⁵ m³ = 18.0 × 10⁶ Pa = 18.0 MPa.
步骤 3 – 弯曲应力。σb = M / Z = 960 N·m / 5.333 × 10⁻⁵ m³ = 18.0 × 10⁶ Pa = 18.0 MPa。
Step 4 – Safety check. Allowable stress = yield strength / safety factor = 250 MPa / 1.6 = 156.25 MPa. Since 18.0 MPa ≪ 156.25 MPa, the beam is safe with a large margin.
步骤 4 – 安全性校验。许用应力 = 屈服强度 / 安全系数 = 250 MPa / 1.6 = 156.25 MPa。因 18.0 MPa 远小于 156.25 MPa,梁安全且裕度充足。
σb = 18.0 MPa, σallow = 156.25 MPa → design is safe.
σb = 18.0 MPa,σallow = 156.25 MPa → 设计安全。
3. Problem 2: Transistor Amplifier Circuit Analysis | 问题 2:晶体管放大电路分析
A common-emitter amplifier uses a silicon NPN transistor with β = 100. The supply voltage VCC = 12 V, collector resistor RC = 2 kΩ, base resistor RB = 200 kΩ, and the emitter is grounded. Calculate the quiescent collector current ICQ and the collector-emitter voltage VCEQ. Assume VBE = 0.7 V and negligible base current effect from the collector load.
一个共射极放大器采用硅 NPN 晶体管,β = 100。电源电压 VCC = 12 V,集电极电阻 RC = 2 kΩ,基极电阻 RB = 200 kΩ,发射极接地。计算静态集电极电流 ICQ 和集电极-发射极电压 VCEQ。假设 VBE = 0.7 V,且忽略集电极负载对基极电流的微小影响。
Base current: IB = (VCC – VBE) / RB = (12 V – 0.7 V) / 200 kΩ = 11.3 V / 200,000 Ω = 56.5 µA.
基极电流:IB = (VCC – VBE) / RB = (12 V – 0.7 V) / 200 kΩ = 11.3 V / 200,000 Ω = 56.5 µA。
Collector current: ICQ ≈ β × IB = 100 × 56.5 µA = 5.65 mA.
集电极电流:ICQ ≈ β × IB = 100 × 56.5 µA = 5.65 mA。
Collector-emitter voltage: VCEQ = VCC – ICQ × RC = 12 V – (5.65 mA × 2 kΩ) = 12 V – 11.3 V = 0.7 V.
集电极-发射极电压:VCEQ = VCC – ICQ × RC = 12 V – (5.65 mA × 2 kΩ) = 12 V – 11.3 V = 0.7 V。
The quiescent point sits near saturation, giving very little output swing. To obtain a linear amplifier, the bias point should be adjusted, e.g. by adding an emitter resistor or using a voltage-divider bias.
静态工作点接近饱和区,输出摆幅极小。若要获得线性放大器,应当调整偏置点,例如增加发射极电阻或采用分压式偏置。
4. Problem 3: Al-Cu Phase Diagram and Precipitation Hardening | 问题 3:铝铜相图与沉淀硬化
An Al-4% Cu alloy is solution treated at 540 °C, water quenched, and aged at 190 °C. Explain the microstructural changes at each stage and state why the aged alloy becomes stronger. Refer to GP zones, θ” and θ’ phases, and the equilibrium θ phase (Al₂Cu).
一种含 4% Cu 的铝合金经过 540 °C 固溶处理、水淬,并在 190 °C 时效。请解释各阶段的微观组织变化,并说明时效态合金为何强度更高。需提及 GP 区、θ” 相和 θ’ 相,以及平衡 θ 相 (Al₂Cu)。
Solution treatment dissolves the θ phase into a single α phase (FCC aluminium solid solution). Rapid quenching traps a supersaturated solid solution at room temperature.
固溶处理使 θ 相溶解形成单相 α 固溶体(FCC 铝固溶体)。快速淬火在室温下形成过饱和固溶体。
Ageing allows copper atoms to cluster into GP zones (coherent, disc-shaped solute-rich regions). These zones distort the lattice and impede dislocation motion, increasing strength. With further time, GP zones transform into semi-coherent θ” and then θ’ phases. Eventually, incoherent equilibrium θ (Al₂Cu) precipitates form, causing over-ageing and a drop in strength.
时效使铜原子聚集形成 GP 区(共格、圆盘状的富溶质区域)。这些区域使晶格畸变并阻碍位错运动,从而提高强度。随着时间延长,GP 区转变为半共格的 θ” 相,再转变为 θ’ 相。最终,非共格的平衡 θ 相 (Al₂Cu) 析出,导致过时效,强度下降。
Peak strength → fine distribution of GP zones and θ”
峰值强度 → 弥散分布的 GP 区和 θ” 相
5. Problem 4: CNC Machining Tolerances and Process Capability | 问题 4:数控加工公差与过程能力
A CNC lathe produces shafts with a nominal diameter of 25.00 mm. The specification limits are 25.00 ± 0.04 mm. A sample of 50 shafts gives a mean of 25.01 mm and a standard deviation of 0.012 mm. Calculate the process capability indices Cp and Cpk, and comment on the process capability.
一台数控车床加工标称直径为 25.00 mm 的轴。规格限为 25.00 ± 0.04 mm。从 50 根轴中取样得到均值 25.01 mm,标准差 0.012 mm。计算过程能力指数 Cp 和 Cpk,并评价过程能力。
USL = 25.04 mm, LSL = 24.96 mm. Cp = (USL – LSL) / (6σ) = (0.08 mm) / (6 × 0.012 mm) = 0.08 / 0.072 ≈ 1.11. Cpk = min[(USL – μ)/3σ, (μ – LSL)/3σ] = min[(0.03)/0.036, (0.05)/0.036] = min[0.83, 1.39] = 0.83.
USL = 25.04 mm, LSL = 24.96 mm。Cp = (USL – LSL) / (6σ) = (0.08 mm) / (6 × 0.012 mm) = 0.08 / 0.072 ≈ 1.11。Cpk = min[(USL – μ)/3σ, (μ – LSL)/3σ] = min[(0.03)/0.036, (0.05)/0.036] = min[0.83, 1.39] = 0.83。
A Cpk of 0.83 is less than 1.0, indicating the process is not capable as the mean is too close to the upper specification limit. To achieve a capable process (Cpk ≥ 1.33), tool offset adjustment and variation reduction are needed.
Cpk 为 0.83,小于 1.0,表明过程能力不足,因为过程均值过于靠近上规格限。要使过程能力达标(Cpk ≥ 1.33),需调整刀具偏置并减少变差。
6. Problem 5: Diesel Cycle Thermal Efficiency | 问题 5:狄塞尔循环热效率
An ideal Diesel cycle has a compression ratio r = 18 and a cut-off ratio β = 2.0. The working fluid is air with γ = 1.4. Derive the thermal efficiency and calculate its numerical value.
一个理想狄塞尔循环的压缩比 r = 18,切断比 β = 2.0,工质为空气,比热容比 γ = 1.4。推导热效率并计算其数值。
The Diesel efficiency formula: η = 1 – (1 / rγ-1) × [(βγ – 1) / (γ (β – 1))].
狄塞尔效率公式:η = 1 – (1 / rγ-1) × [(βγ – 1) / (γ (β – 1))]。
First, rγ-1 = 180.4. Estimate: 180.4 = exp(0.4 × ln18) ≈ exp(0.4 × 2.890) = exp(1.156) ≈ 3.178. Next, βγ = 21.4 ≈ exp(1.4 × ln2) = exp(1.4 × 0.693) = exp(0.970) ≈ 2.639. Denominator γ(β-1) = 1.4 × 1 = 1.4. So the factor = (2.639 – 1)/1.4 = 1.639/1.4 ≈ 1.171.
首先,rγ-1 = 180.4。估算:180.4 = exp(0.4 × ln18) ≈ exp(0.4 × 2.890) = exp(1.156) ≈ 3.178。其次,βγ = 21.4 ≈ exp(1.4 × ln2) = exp(1.4 × 0.693) = exp(0.970) ≈ 2.639。分母 γ(β-1) = 1.4 × 1 = 1.4。因此,因子 = (2.639 – 1)/1.4 = 1.639/1.4 ≈ 1.171。
η = 1 – (1/3.178) × 1.171 = 1 – 0.3685 = 0.6315 ≈ 63.2 %.
η = 1 – (1/3.178) × 1.171 = 1 – 0.3685 = 0.6315 ≈ 63.2 %。
Compare with Otto cycle with same compression ratio: ηOtto = 1 – 1/rγ-1 = 1 – 1/3.178 = 68.5 %. The Diesel cycle is slightly less efficient at the same r, but it can operate at higher compression ratios without knock.
与相同压缩比的奥托循环比较:ηOtto = 1 – 1/rγ-1 = 1 – 1/3.178 = 68.5 %。在相同压缩比下,狄塞尔效率略低,但它可在不爆震的条件下采用更高的压缩比。
7. Problem 6: Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) | 问题 6:失效模式与影响分析 (FMEA)
A centrifugal pump is being designed for chemical transfer. Identify two potential failure modes, assign severity (S), occurrence (O), and detection (D) ratings on a 1–10 scale, and calculate the risk priority number (RPN). Suggest corrective actions to reduce the highest RPN.
一台用于化学品输送的离心泵正在设计中。请识别两种可能的失效模式,按 1–10 分制分配严重度 (S)、发生率 (O) 和检测度 (D),计算风险优先级数 (RPN),并针对最高 RPN 项提出纠正措施。
| Failure Mode | Effect | S | O | D | RPN |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mechanical seal leakage | Chemical spill, safety hazard | 9 | 4 | 5 | 180 |
| Impeller cavitation damage | Loss of flow, vibration | 7 | 6 | 4 | 168 |
RPN = S × O × D. The highest RPN (180) is for seal leakage. Corrective action: use a double mechanical seal with a flush system, and add a leakage sensor for early detection. This reduces O (more robust design) and D (sensor lowers detection rating).
RPN = S × O × D。最高 RPN (180) 来自密封泄漏。纠正措施:采用带冲洗系统的双端面机械密封,并增加泄漏传感器以实现早期检测,从而降低 O(更稳健的设计)和 D(传感器可降低检测度评分)。
