vertical deflections would be less than the actual value at the mid- span of the beams.• The M-STRUDL analysis did not account for the initial imperfections or deflections of the structure, which the experiment is able to account for, which results in experimental displacements being larger than the analytical displacements.• The modulus of elasticity assumed in the analysis did not account for the permanent distortions that have taken place in the structural model from repeated use. This would make the analytical model stiffer than the actual structure.• The accuracy of the horizontal displacements (LVDT # 5 and #6) was not as good as the vertical displacement readings (LVDT #’s 1 through 4) because LVDT #’s 5 and 6 had to

Their job is to first decide what a disk carrier is, and the intended user(s) of such adevice, and then to design it.At the time of completing the design of their disk carrier, we find they are talking in the languageof designers. They speak openly of constraints, structural, behavioral and functional attributes oftheir designs, and evaluation of alternative solutions. Though encouraging it would be fallaciousto believe they are designers and free of misconceptions.IV. Product Dissection and Misconceptions

processof adjusting this set of Cost Estimating Relationship (CER) equations was begun by calculatingand tabulating the magnitude of various segments of the design and manufacturing process asgiven by the cost model. The equations break up the cost into eight major contributors:engineering hours, tooling hours, manufacturing hours, quality control hours, developmentsupport cost, flight test cost, cost of manufacturing materials, and engine production cost. Eachsegment is estimated by an equation generated by regression analysis of Department of Defensedatabase information. The equation for engineering labor hours is typical: Engineering labor hours, E = .0396 A .791 S 1.526 Q .183 where A = airframe weight in pounds

Later, VHDLevolved into a simulation language for large designs targeted for ASICs. Finally, with theproliferation of low cost, quick time-to-market programmable logic devices (PLD, CPLD,FPGA) VHDL has become an industrial standard for logic synthesis. VHDL was standardizedin 1987 (IEEE-1076) and has since been updated twice, first in 1993 (IEEE-1164) and again in1996 (IEEE-1076.3). The 1996 update standardized VHDL as a synthesis language. Today,VHDL, along with Verilog, are industry standards for logic simulation and syntheses. VHDL Design

up,1, 5 and students have come to expect higher grades. Thirty yearsago, a C was considered an average grade, and A’s and B’s were given to those students whoexcelled or were above average in ability or performance. In the 1950’s and 60’s, professors“curved” grades and often forced grades into a bell curve so that only a few students receivedA’s and B’s and there were always some students who failed the class. However, there weremany problems with curving grades especially in upper classes when all students had the abilityto pass. The result was that curving actually resulted in adjusting grades upward.Does grade inflation really exist?At some of the more prestigious institutions, over 40 percent of the grades are A’s.
