Consider a hot working operation where there is no work hardening but the flow stress is sensitive to strain rate. Calculate the maximum strain rate that can be used in the deformation if the flow stress cannot exceed 200 MPa. Assume a strain rate sensitivity exponent is 0.1 and the strength constant is 175 MPa. There is no effect of friction with the tooling (1 point)

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.
