A mild steel test piece was made into 1/4 scale. It was stretched to 200kN tension until destroyed.
At what minimum force would you expect the full size component to fail?
The answer is 3200kN.
How do you do this?
Solid cylinder:
12 mm diameter
Second moment of area = 1.02 * 10^(-9) m^4
BM = 12 kNm
Hollow cylinder:
25 mm diameter
1.2 mm wall thickness
Second moment of area = 6.37 * 10^(-9) m^4
BM = 12 kNm
Which has a better strength to weight ratio?
What the maximum bending stress of each?
Why would...
