Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a material with a swelling index of 4, calculate expected changes in compressibility under varying moisture conditions few examples.

💡 Hint: Consider base comparisons with a material that has a swelling index of 2.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze a stress-compressibility graph and predict the behavior of a material under increasing load.

💡 Hint: Relate it back to the definitions of compressibility and the properties of the material in focus.
