Problem 38 (Continued)

ASTM A536, Grade 100-70-03 is a ductile iron with a

tensile strength of 100 ksi (689 MPa); a yield strength of
70 ksi (483 MPa); 3% elongation (brittle); modulus of
elasticity (stiffness) of 24x106 psi (165 GPa).

ASTM A47, Grade 32510 is a malleable iron with a tensile

strength of 50 ksi (345 MPa); a yield strength of 32.5 ksi
(224 MPa); 10% elongation (ductile); modulus of elasticity
(stiffnes) of 26x106 (179 GPa.

(Table 2-11)

Aluminum 7178-T6 has the highest strength; tensile strength =

88 ksi (607 MPa); yield strength = 78 ksi (538 MPa).

Resins used for composites include polyesters, epoxies,

polyimides, phenolics, (all thermosets), and
thermoplastics: PE, PA, PEEK, PPS, PVC.

Questions 70-73 refer to Figure 2-23 and Table 2-17 in the text.

General conclusions from Questions 70-73: The specific

strengths of the metals listed range from 0.194x106 to
1.00x106, approximately a factor of 5.0. The specific
stiffnesses are very nearly equal for all metals listed,
approximately 1.0x108 in. The specific strengths of the
composites listed range from 1.87 to 4.88x106 in, much
higher than any of the metals. Glass/epoxy has a specific
stiffness about 2/3 that of the metals. The other
composites listed range from 2.2 to 8.3 times as stiff as
the metals.

See Section 2-17, Table 2-16, Figures 2-23 and 2-24 for
answers to Questions 74 to 100.
