Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You are designing a beam with two conflicting requirements: a deflection limit and a maximum stress limit. If you could only meet one constraint, how would you approach the design to satisfy at least one specification?
💡 Hint: Consider the physical properties of the materials involved.
Create a set of normal and redundant specifications for a mechanical component, and explain how each contributes to the overall design.
💡 Hint: Use a real-world example for better context.
