1. Q1: Stress and Strain Calculation | 第1题：应力与应变计算

Question: A cylindrical titanium alloy rod of diameter 8 mm carries a tensile load of 12 kN. Given Young’s modulus E = 105 GPa, calculate the tensile stress and the strain produced in the rod.

题目：一根直径 8 mm 的钛合金圆柱杆承受 12 kN 的拉伸载荷，已知杨氏模量 E=105 GPa，计算杆内产生的拉伸应力和应变。

Step 1 – Cross‑sectional area: For a circular cross‑section A = π(d/2)². Radially d/2 = 4 mm = 4×10⁻³ m, so A = π×(4×10⁻³)² = π×16×10⁻⁶ ≈ 5.027×10⁻⁵ m².

步骤1 – 截面积：圆形截面 A = π(d/2)²。半径 d/2=4 mm=4×10⁻³ m，因此 A = π×(4×10⁻³)² = π×16×10⁻⁶ ≈ 5.027×10⁻⁵ m²。

Step 2 – Tensile stress: Stress σ = F/A = 12 000 N / 5.027×10⁻⁵ m² ≈ 239×10⁶ Pa = 239 MPa.

σ = F / A → σ ≈ 239 MPa

步骤2 – 拉伸应力：应力 σ = F/A = 12 000 N / 5.027×10⁻⁵ m² ≈ 239×10⁶ Pa = 239 MPa。

σ = F / A → σ ≈ 239 MPa

Step 3 – Strain: From Hooke’s law within the elastic limit, strain ε = σ/E. E = 105 GPa = 105×10⁹ Pa. ε = 239×10⁶ / 105×10⁹ ≈ 2.28×10⁻³ (0.00228).

ε = σ / E → ε ≈ 2.28 × 10⁻³

步骤3 – 应变：弹性范围内由胡克定律得应变 ε = σ/E。E=105 GPa=105×10⁹ Pa，ε=239×10⁶ / 105×10⁹ ≈ 2.28×10⁻³ (0.00228)。

ε = σ / E → ε ≈ 2.28 × 10⁻³

Always check that the stress does not exceed the yield strength of the material; otherwise the linear relationship fails. For titanium alloys, yield is typically above 800 MPa, so the response remains elastic.

务必确认应力未超过材料的屈服强度，否则线性关系失效。钛合金的屈服强度通常在 800 MPa 以上，因此本题仍处于弹性阶段。

2. Q2: Tensile Test Data Analysis | 第2题：拉伸试验数据分析

Question: A tensile test on a steel specimen (gauge length L₀ = 50 mm, diameter 5 mm) gives the load–extension data below. Plot the stress–strain curve, determine Young’s modulus and identify the yield stress.

题目：对一钢试样（标距 L₀=50 mm，直径 5 mm）进行拉伸试验获得下列载荷–伸长数据。绘制应力–应变曲线，求杨氏模量并识别屈服应力。

Load F (N)	Extension ΔL (mm)
0	0
2 000	0.020
4 000	0.040
6 000	0.060
8 000	0.090
10 000	0.150
11 000	0.400

Cross‑sectional area A = π(2.5 mm)² = 19.63 mm² = 1.963×10⁻⁵ m². Strain ε = ΔL/L₀ = ΔL/50 mm. From the first three rows the behaviour is linear. At F=6000 N, ε=0.060/50=0.00120 and stress σ=6000 N/1.963×10⁻⁵ m²=305.6×10⁶ Pa.

截面积 A = π(2.5 mm)² = 19.63 mm² = 1.963×10⁻⁵ m²。应变 ε=ΔL/L₀=ΔL/50 mm。前三个数据点呈线性，在 F=6000 N 时 ε=0.060/50=0.00120，应力 σ=6000 N/1.963×10⁻⁵ m²=305.6×10⁶ Pa。

Applying Hooke’s law in the linear region: E = σ/ε = 305.6×10⁶ Pa / 0.00120 ≈ 255 GPa. This is typical for high‑strength steels. The yield point is observed around 6000 N because beyond this the extension grows disproportionately. Yield stress ≈ 305 MPa.

弹性段应用胡克定律：E=σ/ε=305.6×10⁶ Pa/0.00120≈255 GPa，与高强度钢典型值相符。屈服点出现在约 6000 N 附近，此后伸长不成比例增加，屈服应力约为 305 MPa。

E = (σ₂ − σ₁) / (ε₂ − ε₁) ≈ 255 GPa

3. Q3: Material Selection for a Bicycle Frame | 第3题：自行车车架选材

Question: Compare the suitability of low‑carbon steel, 6061 aluminium alloy and carbon‑fibre‑reinforced polymer (CFRP) for a lightweight bicycle frame. Discuss strength, stiffness, density, corrosion resistance and cost.

题目：比较低碳钢、6061 铝合金和碳纤维增强聚合物 (CFRP) 用于轻量化自行车车架的适宜性，讨论强度、刚度、密度、耐腐蚀性和成本。

Low‑carbon steel offers high tensile strength (≈400 MPa) and stiffness (E≈210 GPa) at low cost, but its density (≈7 850 kg/m³) makes frames heavy, and it requires corrosion protection. 6061 aluminium provides a density of ≈2 700 kg/m³, good strength after heat treatment (≈310 MPa) and natural corrosion resistance; its lower stiffness (E≈69 GPa) demands larger tube diameters. CFRP exhibits very high specific strength and can be tailored to directional stiffness, with densities below 2 000 kg/m³, but manufacturing cost is substantially higher and impact damage tolerance is lower.

低碳钢具有高抗拉强度（≈400 MPa）、高刚度（E≈210 GPa）和低成本，但密度约 7 850 kg/m³ 使车架较重，且需防腐蚀处理。6061 铝合金密度约 2 700 kg/m³，热处理后强度良好（≈310 MPa），天然耐腐蚀，但其较低刚度（E≈69 GPa）要求更粗的管径。CFRP 表现出极高的比强度，可定向定制刚度，密度低于 2 000 kg/m³，但制造成本显著较高且抗冲击损伤容限较低。

For high‑performance racing frames, CFRP is preferred despite cost, whereas aluminium offers an excellent balance for mid‑range bikes. Steel remains common in budget and touring frames where weight is less critical and serviceability is valued.

高性能竞赛车架首选 CFRP，尽管成本高；铝合金为中档自行车提供极佳平衡；钢材仍广泛用于预算型与旅行车架，此时重量不是首要考虑因素且维修性更受重视。

4. Q4: Mechanics of a First‑Class Lever | 第4题：第一类杠杆力学

Question: A first‑class lever has a fulcrum placed such that the effort arm is 0.80 m and the load arm is 0.25 m. Determine the minimum effort required to lift a 200 N load, and calculate the mechanical advantage.

题目：一第一类杠杆支点位置使得力臂为 0.80 m、重臂为 0.25 m，求提起 200 N 负载所需的最小施力，并计算机械优势。

For rotational equilibrium, effort × effort arm = load × load arm. Hence E × 0.80 m = 200 N × 0.25 m → E = 50 N m / 0.80 m = 62.5 N.

E × d_E = L × d_L → E = (200 N × 0.25 m) / 0.80 m = 62.5 N

由转动平衡，施力 × 力臂 = 负载 × 重臂，所以 E×0.80 m = 200 N×0.25 m → E = 50 N·m / 0.80 m = 62.5 N。

E × d_E = L × d_L → E = (200 N × 0.25 m) / 0.80 m = 62.5 N

Mechanical advantage (MA) = load / effort = 200 N / 62.5 N = 3.2. Also expressed as effort arm / load arm = 0.80/0.25 = 3.2. A first‑class lever can have MA greater or less than 1 depending on the pivot position.

机械优势 (MA) = 负载/施力 = 200 N/62.5 N = 3.2，也可表示为力臂/重臂 = 0.80/0.25 = 3.2。第一类杠杆依支点位置不同可获得大于或小于 1 的机械优势。

5. Q5: Gear Train Torque and Speed | 第5题：齿轮系扭矩与转速

Question: A motor drives a 15‑tooth spur gear that meshes with a 45‑tooth idler, which in turn drives a 60‑tooth output gear. The motor delivers 1.5 N m torque at 1 200 rpm. Find the output torque and the output speed.

题目：电机驱动一个 15 齿直齿轮，它与 45 齿惰轮啮合，惰轮再驱动一个 60 齿输出齿轮。电机输出扭矩 1.5 N·m，转速 1200 rpm，求输出扭矩与输出转速。

The idler does not affect the overall gear ratio; it only reverses direction. Overall gear ratio = output teeth / input teeth = 60 / 15 = 4:1 reduction. Speed ratio = input speed / output speed = 4, so output speed = 1200 rpm / 4 = 300 rpm.

惰轮不改变总传动比，只改变转向。总传动比 = 输出齿数/输入齿数 = 60/15=4:1 减速。转速比 = 输入转速/输出转速 = 4，因此输出转速 = 1200 rpm / 4 = 300 rpm。

Assuming 100% efficiency, output torque = input torque × gear ratio = 1.5 N m × 4 = 6.0 N m. In practice, efficiency (< 1) reduces this, but for an ideal gear train the torque is amplified by the speed reduction.

假设效率 100%，输出扭矩 = 输入扭矩 × 传动比 = 1.5 N·m × 4 = 6.0 N·m。实际效率小于 1 会使输出扭矩略降，但理想齿轮系中转矩随减速比例放大。

T_out = T_in × (N_out / N_in) = 1.5 N m × 4 = 6.0 N m

T_out = T_in × (N_out / N_in) = 1.5 N·m × 4 = 6.0 N·m

6. Q6: DC Series and Parallel Circuits | 第6题：直流串联与并联电路

Question: Two resistors R₁ = 12 Ω and R₂ = 24 Ω are connected to a 12 V d.c. supply. Determine the total resistance and the current in each resistor when connected (a) in series, (b) in parallel.

题目：两个电阻 R₁=12 Ω、R₂=24 Ω 接到 12 V 直流电源，求 (a) 串联 (b) 并联时总电阻及流过各电阻的电流。

(a) Series: R_total = R₁ + R₂ = 12 Ω + 24 Ω = 36 Ω. Circuit current I = V / R_total = 12 V / 36 Ω = 0.333 A. The same current flows through both resistors.

(a) 串联：总电阻 R_total = R₁+R₂ = 12 Ω+24 Ω=36 Ω，电路电流 I=V/R_total=12 V/36 Ω=0.333 A，两个电阻中流过相同电流。

(b) Parallel: 1/R_total = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ = 1/12 + 1/24 = (2+1)/24 = 3/24, so R_total = 8 Ω. Total current I_total = V/R_total = 12 V / 8 Ω = 1.5 A. Branch currents: I₁ = V/R₁ = 12/12 = 1.0 A; I₂ = V/R₂ = 12/24 = 0.5 A. Check: I₁ + I₂ = 1.5 A.

(b) 并联：1/R_total = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ = 1/12+1/24 = 3/24，R_total=8 Ω。总电流 I_total=12 V/8 Ω=1.5 A。支路电流：I₁=12/12=1.0 A，I
