Formation on build-up edge during machining can be avoided by using

The arc - voltage characteristics of a $$DC$$ power source has a linear power source characteristic of $$V=20+40L,$$ where $$V$$ is the arc voltage in volts and $$L$$ is the arc length in $$cm.$$ The static volt-ampere characteristic of the power source is approximated by a straight line with open circuit voltage $$=80V$$ and short circuit current is $$600Amps,$$ determine the optimum arc length for maximum power

The state of stress at a point P in a two dimensional loading is such that the Mohr's circle is a point located at 175 MPa on the positive normal stress axis.

The distance of maximum and minimum principal stresses at the point ''P'' from the Mohr's circle are

A simply supported laterally loaded beam was found to deflect more than a specified value. Which of the following measures will reduce the deflection?
