Core needle biopsy samples give limited information about the tumor.

Determine the shear lag factor U for a L6 x 6 x 3/8 consisting of A36 steel with two longitudinal welds of length L = 8 in. and one transverse weld.

Determine the nominal strength for the following PL 7/8 x 9 plate of A36 steel with two holes for 5/8-inch-diameter bolts. Assume a = 1 in., b = 3.5 in., and c = 2 in.

Determine the shear lag factor U for a L6 x 6 x 7/8 consisting of A36 steel with two longitudinal welds of length L = 10 in. and one transverse weld.

Local anesthesia can be used to minimize pain during direct arthrography.

Determine the smallest net area for the following PL 7/8 x 10 plate with three holes for 5/8-inch-diameter bolts. Assume a = 1.5 in., b = 1 in., and c = 4 in.

Determine the net area for an L7 x 4 x 5/8 with two lines of 7/8-inch-diameter bolts in the long leg and one line of 7/8-inch-diameter bolts in the short leg. The bolts are not staggered.

When more than one failure pattern is conceivable, the one with the smallest load capacity should be used.

Fine Needle Biopsy has increased the risk of false positive findings.

Determine the net area for an L8 x 4 x 1 with two lines of 3/4-inch-diameter bolts in the long leg and one line of 3/4-inch-diameter bolts in the short leg. The bolts are not staggered.
