While the shape of the strength distribution curve (i. e. population versus strength) of a ceramic material is kept constant, its fracture toughness has been increased. use such a strength distribution diagram to explain if this (the increase in toughness) has resulted in an increase or a decrease in reliability

When at a point two solid phase changes to one solid phase on cooling then it is known as a) eutectoid point b) eutectic point c) peritectic point d) peritectoid point

The y form of iron is known as: a) ferrite b) cementite c) perlite d) austenite

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.
