What wound most likely would need this “give and take” plan of care?:   GIVE-nutritional supplements, support surfaces, antibiotics, protection, and moist wound care. TAKE-shear forces, friction forces, wrinkled surfaces, infection, necrotic tissue.

Match the equation Ru = φRn to the appropriate design method.

A 0.57 in. x 11.7 in. plate is connected to a gusset with eight 1/2 in. bolts. Standard sizing is used for the bolt holes. What is the net area of the plate?

A 3/4 in. x 7 in. plate must resist a service dead load of 29 kips and a service live load of 42 kips in tension. The plate is connected to a gusset with four 1-1/8 in. bolts. Standard sizing is used for the bolt holes. The steel is ASTM A1066 Grade 50: Fy = 50 ksi, Fu = 65 ksi. Assume that Ae = An. Using LRFD, does the plate have enough strength?

Semiconductors are made from materials that have ___ valence electrons.

A tensile test was performed on a specimen with a circular cross section. The diameter was measured to be 1.060 inch. Two marks were made along the length of the specimen and were measured to be 2.100 inches apart. This distance is defined as the gage length, and all length measurements were made between the two marks. The specimen was loaded to failure. Fracture occurred at a load of 18,000 pounds. The specimen was then reassembled, and the diameter and gage length were measured to be 0.560 inch and 2.352 inches. Determine the elongation as a percentage.

What is the effective hole diameter to accommodate a 3/4 in. bolt? Use oversize hole sizing.

A tensile test was performed on a specimen with a circular cross section. The diameter was measured to be 0.910 inch. Two marks were made along the length of the specimen and were measured to be 2.650 inches apart. This distance is defined as the gage length, and all length measurements were made between the two marks. The specimen was loaded to failure. Fracture occurred at a load of 24,500 pounds. The specimen was then reassembled, and the diameter and gage length were measured to be 0.497 inch and 2.867 inches. Determine the reduction in cross-sectional area as a percentage.

A 3/8 in. x 5 in. plate must resist a service dead load of 31 kips and a service live load of 50 kips in tension. The plate is connected to a gusset with four 7/8 in. bolts. Standard sizing is used for the bolt holes. The steel is ASTM A572 Grade 42: Fy = 42 ksi, Fu = 60 ksi. Assume that Ae = An. Using LRFD, does the plate have enough strength?

Derived units of measure have ___ relationships to base units.
