For nitrided mechanical components, fatigue cracks typically originate and form at__________________?
Show answer Hide answer
Answer: E. none of the above
Explanation
Nitriding creates a hard compressive residual stress layer at the surface, which typically shifts fatigue crack initiation to just below the hardened case.

Q1. When loads act heavily in only one specific direction, the thread profile most appropriate to employ is______________________?
Show answer Hide answer
Answer: D. buttress thread
The buttress thread profile features an almost perpendicular load-bearing flank on one side. This asymmetric design handles exceptionally high mechanical thrust loads acting in one dominant axial direction. The sloping t...
Q2. Let d represent the nominal diameter of a bolt measured in mm; the initial tightening tension in kg for establishing a leak-proof fluid seal, such as on a steam engine cover, is determined via the formula_______________?
Show answer Hide answer
Answer: E. 168 d
Empirical design formulas for pressure vessel covers set initial bolt tension proportional to nominal diameter. Multiplying the nominal diameter in millimeters by 168 yields the required tightening tension in kilograms....
Q3. Within composite or inversely laid wire ropes___________________?
Show answer Hide answer
Answer: C. wires in two adjacent strands are twisted in opposite direction
In composite wire ropes, the direction of twist of wires in strands is opposite to adjacent strands. This inverse twisting pattern helps balance internal torsional forces within the wire rope. Countering twist directions...
Q4. Within hydrostatic bearing systems ____________________?
Show answer Hide answer
Answer: B. the oil film is maintained by supplying oil under pressure
Hydrostatic bearings require an external high-pressure fluid pump to force lubricating oil into the bearing clearances. This pressurized supply lifts and separates the rotating journal from the bearing surface before rot...
Q5. In oiliness-lubricated bearings________________?
Show answer Hide answer
Answer: C. do not require external supply of lubricant
Oiliness-lubricated bearings rely on specialized boundary lubrication properties of certain organic lubricants. These boundary films adhere strongly to metal surfaces, reducing friction during low-speed sliding contact....
Q6. To prevent edge shearing of a structural plate, the distance separating the rivet hole center line from the nearest edge, measured relative to the rivet diameter d, should be__________________?
Show answer Hide answer
Answer: C. 1.5 d
Structural codes specify a minimum edge distance of 1.5 times the rivet diameter. This spacing prevents the rivet from shearing through the plate edge under high loads. Sufficient surrounding metal is necessary to resist...
