Engineering Materials Assignment:

Question 1: (i) Discuss and define Isotropy, Anisotropy and Orthotropy with regards to engineering materials. (ii) Regarding Finite Element Analysis: a. List the three main types of elements and explain how to choose elements? b. Common sources of errors in FEA? (iii) After conducting a photoelastic investigation of a sample, you remove the load and notice that a fringe pattern still exists. What could this mean? Question 2: A shaft has a maximum allowable shear stress of 25 MPa and must carry a torque of 150 N.m. It is required to have a change in diameter from 35 mm to 42 mm. How would you design this section? Show calculations to justify you answer. Question 3: A delta strain gauge rosette, measured the strain at a point on the surface of a machine element. The Question 4:
