For my Mechanics of Materials class, we have a project where we are given a shaft three points, with specified lengths in between each point, a specified load at one endpoint, and an applied torque at the middle point.
We get to decide the material and its structure (constantly changing cross-section, prismatic bar, two straight bars) etc.
This project is purely theoretical and no actual manufacturing will go into it, and as such no cost is an issue
I am looking for a strong and lightweight material to use for this project, cost is no concern. Anyone have any ideas ?
Right now I'm thinking something like:
Diamond
Silicon
Carbon Fiber
