Question:
Determine the Fourier series up to the third harmonic of a full wave rectifier.
Answer:
Sketch the Function and work out the period (L):
The graph has a period of L = 4𝜋
The function reflects in the y-axis so it is even, therefore we can use the formulae for Fourier series for any period and the function will contain no sine terms. We can also simplify the formulae down for a0 and an.
Question: The direct stresses acting on an element of material, on orthogonal planes, are 85N/mm^2 (tensile) and 45N/mm^2 (tensile) together with a shear stress of 15N/mm^2. What is the factor of safe
Question: A thin cylinder of 3m diameter is subjected to an internal pressure of 2.5MN/m^2. Using a factor of safety of 2.2 and a yield stress of 300MN/m^2, calculate the wall thickness based on the a
Question: A hole in a pressure vessel end plate repair casting is being drilled using a radial arm drill. The distance from the drill point to the centre of the drill column is 1.2m. The drill column
