Skim through the text quickly to check your answers.b NASA space shuttle consists of three major components: a

4、 winged orbiter that carries both crew and cargo, an external tank containing liquid hydrogen (fuel) and liquid oxygen (oxidizer) for the orbiters three main rocket engines, and a pair of large solid-propellant rocket boosters (SRBs). On January 28, 1986, the Challenger shuttle and its crew of seven

5、 (including teacher Christa McAuliffe, who had been selected to be the first private citizen in space) were destroyed shortly after launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The primary cause of the loss of the Challenger was the failure of an O-ring seal of a joint on one of the solid rocketboosters. Th

6、e SRBs are constructed in four cylindrical sections. These have to be sealed together completely to prevent the escape of the extremely hot by-products of the burning fuel during a launch. The O-rings are rubber rings that play a vital part in sealing the joints.A On the day of the launch, the weath

7、er was unusually cold and this caused the rubber of one of the O-rings on the joint between the bottom two segments of the right SRB to become brittle. This, combined with the faulty design of the joint, allowed hot gases from the burning solid rocket fuel to escape. The gases and flames burned thro

8、ugh the metal that held the SRB in position. When the SRB broke off, it ruptured the side of the external fuel tank. This allowed the liquid hydrogen and oxygen to mix prematurely and this is what caused the explosion. Read the first paragraph of the text and, in the diagram, label the three main co

17、a Presidential Commission on the Space Shuttle Challenger Accident.Interviewer: Known to most people as the Rogers Commission, right?Spokesperson: Thats right. The chairman of the commission was William P. Rogers. At the same time, NASA established the Challenger Data and Design Analysis Task Force

18、to support the work of the Commission.Interviewer: How long did the investigation take?Spokesperson: It took four months to complete and required the involvement of more than 6,000 people. The report was published and delivered to the president early June 1986. Interviewer: So what changes were made

19、 as a result of the commissions report?Spokesman: Well, modifications were made both to shuttle hardware and to NASAs safety and quality assurance procedures. While the space shuttle fleet was grounded, hundreds of modifications were incorporated into the shuttle system. The SRBs were completely red

20、esigned and a new joint design was subjected to stringent examination and review. NASA put the main space shuttle engines through the most thorough ground-testing program in their history. This was the equivalent in operational time to more than 36 real missions. All engine improvements were certifi

21、ed to demonstrate improved reliability and operating safety margins.Interviewer: I see.Spokesman: And, as I mentioned, apart from making changes to hardware, NASA completely reorganized its safety programs. The Office of Safety, Reliability, Maintainability, and Quality Assurance was established in

Tell us more about the serviceability limit state.A: Well, the purpose of SLS requirements is to m

60、ake sure that people inside a structure are not upset or alarmed by large deflections or vibrations in the floor when they walk. SLS criteria also require the beam deflections in a roof to be low enough to ensure that the plaster or the paint on the ceiling does not crack or fall off. SLS requiremen

62、l nervous or uneasy?3. What other aspects of a building or a structure do you think should be covered by SLS criteria?Q: So, are SLS requirements less stringent than ULS criteria?A: Yes, they are. A structure that may fail to satisfy certain SLS criteria is not necessarily unsafe or likely to fall d

Present your findings in an oral report.h You have been asked to carry out an inspection of a bridge, a tower, or some other public

64、 building to check that it is structurally sound. In small groups, discuss what aspects of the structure you will examine, what measurements youwill take, what tests you will apply, etc. i Find out about the regulations governing the construction of the building (s) that you study or work in and pre

65、sent your findings in a report.The design of this building has to comply with standards established by the Department of . . . Narrator: The Tacoma Narrows Bridge was built in July 1940 across the Narrows of Puget Sound in the state of Washington. Its 2,800-foot span made it the worlds third longest

66、 bridge at that time. But the bridge would only be in operation for four months. Soon after its opening, it was discovered that the bridge swayed and buckled dangerously in windy conditions. The bridge buckled along its length, i.e., one half of the central span would rise as the other half went down. Then engineers noticed a different type of twisting that they had never seen before. The left side of the bridge would go down as the right side would lift up, while the centerline of the road woul
