The Ideal Material
• Endless and ready supply• Cheap to refine and produce• Energy efficient• Strong, stiff, & dimensionally stable at all temperatures• Lightweight• Corrosion resistant• No harmful effects on the environment or people• Biodegradable - when appropriate• Numerous secondary uses

Important Material Properties• Strength (tensile, compressive, flexural, shear, and
torsional).• Resist deformation at elevated temperatures.• Fatigue resistance (repeated loading and unloading).• Toughness (resistance to impact).• Wear resistance (hardness).• Corrosion resistance (acids, oil, water, ..).• Electrical arc resistance (wiring).• Thermal insulation (where appropriate)

Stress/Strain Behavior of Metals and Plastics
Material Stiffness called Young’s Modulus, E
Initial slope of Stress/Strain curve is E

• The stiffer something is, the less it deflects under a given load.
• Material Stiffness ~ E• Geometric Stiffness ~ I• Flexural Rigidity ~ E x I

Design made stiffer by
• Increasing Modulus (E) by changing material.
OR• Increasing I by making part thicker,
wider, or moving material away from the bending axis.

Want to stiffen this design.
As stiff, BUT THICKER (much more material)
Stiffer, keeping original thickness of product.
