Description
Consider material properties to determine optimum materials for:
- stiffness-limited design, consider specific stiffness ratios (E/ρ).
- strength-limited design, consider specific strength ratio (σy/ρ).
The following types of loading are considered: - pure tension.
- flat plate bending.
- cantilever bending of hollow tubes with a fixed outer radius to thickness ratio.
Materials optimised by considering: - minimum mass.
- minimum cost.
