ok, imagine this........
A diving board setup clamped on one side holding a 2ft X 2ft sheet of material.
The sheet is 1mm from a surface on the opposing side. In other words, it takes 1mm of movement to hit the floor.
I need to find a material with the best stiffness to weight ratio that will...
its for an application.
I have a sheet made of a given material. Actually many different types of materials.
What im trying to figure out is.......how will the sheet hold up to bending in different thickness for different materials.
Example.......will a 2mm thick aluminum sheet hold up...
Thanks for all the comments......please be patient with me as I am trying to learn about all this.
I would like the modulus of elasticity.
Simple example.
Sheet of aluminum 6 inches X 6 inches. How much will it give if it were a diving board type setup. stress being applied to the loose end...
I need some help to determine what the stiffness increase is with increase of material thickness.
Sheet of material would be a perfect example. A sheet of material with a given width and length......and changing the then increasing the thickness.......how does the modulus increase? Is there a...
