Question details

Consider a rod transmitting a tensile force. The following materials are being considered for the given application: tungsten carbide, zinc alloy, polycarbonate polymer, and aluminum allo 3. a. Determine the material index f(M). b. Using Ashby chart (Fig. 2.19), select the best material for its strength to weight ratio.Figure 2-19 Strength S versus density ρ for vanous materals. For metals, s is the 0.2 percent offset yield strength. Fr polymers, s is the 1 percent yeld strength. For ceramics and glasses, S is the compressive crushing strength. For composites, S is the tensile strength. For elastomers, S is the tear strength.
