A new engineering material is proposed with a calculated Young's Modulus of 180 GPa, compare its stiffness to aluminum (Young's Modulus ~ 70 GPa). What implications would this have for its application?
💡 Hint: Relate the material's ability to handle weight to its stiffness.
Consider a material that has a yield strength of 250 MPa. If used in a beam design subjected to an ultimate load of 300 MPa, what possible consequences may arise?
💡 Hint: Think about what happens when the load exceeds material limits.
