    Modulus effect on material thickness

    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...

    Modulus effect on material thickness

    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...

    Modulus effect on material thickness

    It seems like something changes, because it doesnt move as much.......so what is changing.

    Modulus effect on material thickness

    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...

    Modulus effect on material thickness

    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...
