The next seven questions go together. You are trying to map the location of genes controlling horn length, color, and sharpness in sheep. The genes are all linked, and long (h), white (b), and rounded (r) horns are recessive to short (H), black (B), sharp (R) horns. You cross an individual that is heterozygous at each locus with a recessive test-cross line, and the following offspring genotypes result (the recessive alleles from the testcross have been left out): hBr 378 HbR 366 HBR 76 hbr 71 hBR 44 Hbr 43 HBr 12 hbR 10 Total 1000 Which gene is in the middle?

Collapse of a redundant truss by incremental elastic analysis This project is to be carried out individually using the Matlab programming environment. Please make an electronic submission on Blackboard of a .zip archive containing a report (max 10 pages in .pdf format) and your complete Matlab code (all.\( m \) files). Your report should include a detailed critique of your findings in the context of finite element and structural theory, including computational considerations where appropriate. Write carefully and professionally and use appropriate formatting in your document. You may collaborate and use any code released to you You have been asked to investigate the collapse mechanism of a redundant 2D truss structure with the aid of an incremental elastic analysis. A collapse mechanism is here assumed to occur once a sufficient number of bar elements have failed, either by plastic squashing or elastic buckling under compression, or by plastic yielding under tension, to make it unable to remain in static equilibrium with the applied loading. Unfortunately, a true collapse analysis by finite elements requires a complex formulation that permits a nonlinear constitutive law with finite strains (required to model plasticity) and finite displacements (required to model buckling). Instead, we will cheat in a clever way and obtain an approximate solution to the development of a collapse mechanism through a series of 'incremental' linear elastic analyses. You will use such and 'iLA' to approximate two specific types of analyses: - MNA - materially nonlinear analysis to track the development of failure by plasticity collapse only. - GMNA - geometrically nonlinear analysis to track the development of failure by plastic collapse or elastic buckling, whichever is more critical. Your iLA does not actually contain any nonlinearity. It approximates its effect by invoking very simple member failure criteria and gives the illusion of nonlinearity by progressively updating the structure to reflect lost members and re-analysing it. 1

A pipeline is designed to supply water with a flow rate of X L/s to fulfill the demand and consumption of a city. Determine the head loss and velocity of flow in a 1500 m long water supply line section with a diameter of Y cm. Assuming a coefficient of friction factor f = 0.00155. X (Flow rate) = 88, Y (Diameter) = 21.6.

5 The structure below is formed by an L-shaped rigid bar ABCD and two horizontal members. Point C is a pin joint, free to rotate. There is a 3-mm clearance in the pin connection at A and no clearance at the pin connection B. The system is initially unstressed. (30 points) Member (1) has the following properties: $E_1 = 100 \text{ GPa}$, $A_1 = 620 \text{ mm}^2$. Member (2) has the following properties: $E_2 = 70 \text{ GPa}$, $A_2 = 340 \text{ mm}^2$. Assume $L_1 = 900 \text{ mm}$, $L_2 = 540 \text{ mm}$, $a = 500$ mm, $b = 325 \text{ mm}$, and $c = 1100 \text{ mm}$. Consider the load, P = 90 kN applied to the structure at D. Provided for you is the deflection diagram after the application of load. \begin{itemize} \item Determine the internal forces $F_1$ and $F_2$ of the members (1) and (2) \item Include whether they are in tension or compression (positive or negative) \end{itemize} Hint: The 3-mm clearance is related to the relationship between deflection and member deformation (i.e. \text{``a gap''})
