Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 18RQ
Refer to the specifications for Review Questions 15.
Create a structure array to contain to contain the same information given in parts (a) through (c) in Review Question 15. Note that it may be appropriate to incorporate the text values into the structure array as field names instead of data. You may use any organizational structure and field names that seem logical to you––there are various possibilities.
Add entries to the structure array corresponding to the calculated volumes and masses listed in part (d) of Review Question 15. Again, you may use any organizational structure or field names that seem to you.

(If relevant) A clearly labeled diagram (or diagrams) clearly pertaining to your analysis with a coordinate system and relevant labels.
Final answer with appropriate units and significant figures. You can use the fprintf() command in MATLAB to format numerical results
A 2-3 sentence reflection on your answer. Does it make sense? Why or why not? What are some implications?
You are a biomedical engineer working for a small orthopaedic firm that fabricates rectangular shaped fracture
fixation plates from titanium alloy (model = "Ti Fix-It") materials. A recent clinical report documents some problems with the plates
implanted into fractured limbs. Specifically, some plates have become permanently bent while patients are in rehab and doing partial
weight bearing activities.
Your boss asks you to review the technical report that was generated by the previous test engineer (whose job you now have!) and used to
verify the design. The brief report states the following... "Ti Fix-It plates were manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V (grade 5) and machined into
solid 150 mm long beams with a 4 mm thick and 15 mm wide cross section. Each Ti Fix-It plate was loaded in equilibrium in a 4-point bending
test (set-up configuration is provided in drawing below), with an applied load of 1000N. The maximum stress in this set-up was less than the
yield stress for the Ti-6Al-4V…

If you look at my notes to solve the problem there is already a formula in place as I always thought the Patm should also be multiplied by the Area in the numerator, but it's not if I look at this specific tutorial solution given by my course but it's not explained why. I have done a while ago a very similar problem with using that formula in my notes and it gave me the right results, but it's not working for this one. Could you please help me understand why as I have a test coming soon?

- Scenario You are assigned a role as a mechanical engineer for a vehicle design manufacturing company. Your department has a software to perform numerical differentiation and integration. To be able to verify the results of using the software and validate these results, your department manager has asked you to analytically perform some tasks to validate the results generated by the software. Q: is the last two digits of your student Id number. If your number is (20110092) then Q=92. P: is the last digit of your student Id Number. If your number is (20110092) then P=2, If that digit equals zero then use P=1. Example: If your number is (20110040) then P=1.
