Fig. E8.4 shows a material chart with the two indices of Exercise E8.2 as axes. Identify and plot coupling lines for selecting materials for a column with \(F=10^{6} \mathrm{~N}\) and \(H=3 \mathrm{~m}\) (the same conditions as above), and for a second column with \(F=10^{3} \mathrm{~N}\) and \(H=20 \mathrm{~m}\).
Data From Fig, E8.4

Data From E8.2
The best choice of material for a light strong column depends on its aspect ratio: the ratio of its height H to its diameter D. This is because short, fat columns fail by crushing; tall slender columns buckle instead. Derive two performance equations for the material cost of a column of solid circular section and specified height H, designed to support a load F large compared to its selfload, the first using the constraints that the column must not crush, the second that it must not buckle. The table summarizes the needs.
