The shape of the system at point 1 and 2 are labeled and shown below (Figure 5.12). The moment of the system was solved for in ABAQUS and superimposed in red over the shape of the column. It can be seen that the system moment is zero in a variety of places over the course of the loading. One place the moment it zero here is at L/2. The moment at L/2 is only zero during line-contact. Due to the symmetric nature of the buckling sequence, line-contact repeats here throughout the course of loading. Figure 5.12 Shapes of 6in3w column undergoing 1-2 modal transition with areas with 0 moment highlighted in red
Below is the simulation for the bi-laterally constrained column. Here line-contact was solved for analytically, and is highlighted in red. This system goes through the same modal sequence 1-2-3. It can be seen that the system spends more time in line-contact than in point-contact and pre-contact combined. This would suggest that for systems that often buckle into mode sequence 1-2-3, that a safe place to put a joint in the constraint would be at the L/2.

This sequence more commonly occurs on longer systems. The 12in3w simulation is depicted below (Figure 5.13). Similarly, the load-displacement is labeled where the corresponding shape snapshots were taken. Figure 5.14 12in3w load-displacement showing 1.5-2.5-3.5 modal

    The focus of this lab was to identify an unknown organism based on its characteristics and the results from each of the tests. There will be various of test to choose from in order to identify the unknown organism, which will eliminate numerous possibilities and narrow it down to one. All the fundamental skills that we have learned and practiced in the lab will be used to perform on our unknown such as aseptic technique, microscopic examination, the use of differential media, and determining if it’s positive or negative. Performing aseptic techniques is the most crucial step that requires the utilizing of transferring, inoculating, and storing bacterial cultures and media. Aseptic technique is defined as procedures that prevent contamination…

If you are unfamiliar with the concept of the root user, do a quick google search. It is always a good practice on any operating system to run your applications on a user level and leave the administrative tasks to the root user, and only on a per-need basis. Applications are meant to be run by users with non-administrative privileges.(Power December 4, 2010)…

    Objective Review: 1. Describe the purpose for using aseptic technique in collecting specimens Aseptic technique is used to prevent contamination of specimens by pathogenic organisms. The goal of maintaining asepsis is to not introduce any other organisms to the patient and prevent the spread of any organisms the patient may be carrying. Certain practices are used to help decrease this from occurring including cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting. Aseptic technique is an important process to prevent the spread of infection and diseases in the clinical setting (Hauswirth & Sherk).…

    The first objective of Lab 4 is to use structure activity relationships to predict the properties of an acid and the potency of hallucinogenic compounds. The overall goal of the laboratory is to examine quantitative structure activity relationships (QSAR) in a system that is either chemical or biochemical. The lab is divided into two parts; predicting the acidity of an organic acid, and predicting the hallucinogenicity of derivatives of mescaline. The materials of this lab for both part 1 and part 2 are small training sets, which are groups of similar chemicals with known biological activity, a computer to graph the data that is recorded in the tables, the internet resource MiLogP to generate LogP data, and computational programs that will…

    On the way from solar cell to the solar module, the output efficiency decreases. For example when a multi-crystalline PV solar cells of 17.8% efficiency is used, the resulting efficiency of a module is around 15.9 to 16.3%. This decrease in efficiency is mainly because of three distinct losses listed below. 1. Optical losses generated by material reflectance and absorption 2.…

    Lower Sample Rate (22,050 SR, 128 kbps): 8/10 Since there was some slight static, we gave the sample a 8/10. This could have occurred because of the rustling of the recorders jacket. Since the phone was placed close to the recorder, this sound could have been easy to pick up by the recording device. I think if we were able to listen to the recording with headphones, it would have been a more accurate depiction of the quality. There was some breathing and wind sound that could be heard in the background noise, especially in the rainbow passage reading.…

    b. When measuring the resistance value with the Avo 8, possible reasons for varience include a parallax error (not looking at the reading from directly above the meter), a reading error due to less divisions when measuring resistance, or the device not being properly zeroed. When measuring current, there are also fewer division, parallax is still a potential issue, and finally, incorrect zeroing of the meter. Voltage has an additional error, the loading of the meter itself. Alongside this issue, there is also parallax, zero, and accuracy/divisions.…

    After the data was collected it was formulated into 4 tables relating to Alpha Amplitude, Alpha Frequency, Beta Amplitude and Beta Frequency, the tables can be found in the appendix section below. The tables contain ID numbers to identify the volunteers as well as columns to show the amplitude (μV)/frequency (Hz) of alpha and beta during the four periods of no music (NM1, NM2, NM3, NM4),CL, CH, RL and RH. The percentage increase for all the different types of music compared to no music was calculated. Each type of music was compared with the individual period of no music prior to it. Calculations are as follows: inc CL % =…

    Parana Pine: For the Parana Pine I obtained the published value from a website since the values on the lab sheet didn’t have a values for Parana Pine. Firstly, I calculated my own Young’s Modulus Value with the result got from the tests using the equation for Young’s Modulus in Bending: E= l³/(4bd^3 ) x ( Δw)/( Δx) From using this equation, I achieved 14.44 E/GPa as a value, the published value, was: 11.37 E/GPa found on ‘The Wood Database’. The difference between my results and the Published values is: 3.07, and it was still within the range of the published value. Regarding the accuracy of the test, since this was my first time conducting this type of test, there may have been some mistakes I made that could have affected the results…

    IT is commonly supported by seabed but SFT is not. Therefore, flexible inter modular joint does not seem as a suitable solution for SFT for which the most rational solution is to have rigid inter modular joint & terminal joints allowing axial displacements. As a matter of rigid joints, the inter-modular joints for the SFT (Archimedes Bridge Prototype in Qiandao Lake, China) are bolted connections when the modules are already submerged. The joint consists in two steel ring end plates (figure).…
