A [0/+60/-60]s laminate with the ply properties listed in the table below is to be subjected to a temperature change from its initial temperature of 75°F. This temperature change can be expressed as a linear temperature change through the thickness of the laminate, with the temperature at the top of the six-ply laminate set at 225°F and the temperature at the bottom of the six-ply laminate set to -75°F. Therefore, for the temperature distribution defined by the equation AT(2) = AT+T'z, with ATh2=225°F - 75°F = 150°F and AT-2=-75°F-75°F=-150°F, AT. =(AT1/2+AT-1/2)/2= [150+(-150)]/2=0°F and T'=(AT12-AT-1/2)/h=(150-(-150))/6(0.0052) = 9,615.4°F/inch we obtain the distribution expression a) Determine the stresses in the lamina coordinate system at both the top and bottom in each of the 0°, +60° and -60° plies. b) Given the lamina strengths in the table below, determine if the laminate subjected to this temperature change distribution could be expected to survive with no excessive lamina stresses and therefore with no damage to the laminate. c) Assuming the same initial stress-free temperature of 75°F and by subjecting this same [0/+60/-60]s laminate separately to (i) a uniform temperature of 225°F and (ii) a uniform temperature of -75°F, answer the question "Is the through thickness temperature gradient more stressing on the laminate than either the uniform through thickness temperature of 225°F or the uniform through thickness temperature of -75°F?"

Q1 Section A Complete both questions in this section in the BLUE answer booklet You are using an AISI 4340 (Fe-0.4wt% C+ alloying additions) steel to produce forged/machined ground anchors for a large mobile phone mast. (a) The steel is supplied in the normalised condition. What fraction of the steel do you expect to be austenite, martensite and pearlite? Justify each answer. (5 marks) (b) Upon examination you find the steel is mostly bainite and martensite with a small amount of proeutectoid ferrite. Determine the range of possible cooling rates this material might have experienced? Would the presence of these microconstituents cause you any concern considering the steel will be hot-forged? (5 marks) (c) The steel needs to be processed in the following manner: (i) Hot forge to the basic shape. (ii) Substantial machining to create threads. (iii) Heat treatment and cooling to create a 100% martensite microstructure. (iv) Tempering to modify the toughness. Sketch a time-temperature history that you would use for this process. Focus on specify- ing the temperatures and the required cooling rates for each stage. Clearly indicate where you have had to use your judgement to estimate a value. (5 marks) (d) You decide that the forging should be a dual-phase steel consisting of 50% ferrite and 50% martensite in order to improve the damage resistance of the anchor. What single change could be made to the above process to produce this desired microstructure? Fully explain your reasoning.
