Question:
A component is at present made from a brass, a copper alloy. Use the Young's modulus - Density \((E-ho)\) chart of Fig. 3.3 to suggest three other metals that, in the same shape, would be stiffer. 'Stiffer' means a higher value of Young's modulus.

The heavy envelopes enclose data for a given class of material. The diagonal contours show the longitudinal wave velocity. The guidelines of constant E/P, E/2/p and E1/3/P allow selection of materials for minimum weight, deflection- limited, design.
