Repeat Prob. 2–26, except that the design situation is failure by excessive deflection, and it is desired to minimize the weight.
Repeat Prob. 2–26, Consider a rod transmitting a tensile force. The following materials are being considered: tungsten carbide, high-carbon heat-treated steel, polycarbonate polymer, aluminum alloy. Using the Ashby charts, recommend one or two of the materials for a design situation in which failure is by exceeding the strength of the material, and it is desired to minimize the weight.
