    Undergrad Mechanical Failure of a Truncated Cone

    The material will probably be ABS reinforced with galss fibres, the cone will be hollow and the load at the top will just be a static load evenly distributed. Failure conditions will be after it reaches the point that it won't elastically return to its shape. I'm more interested it what...

    Mechanical Failure of a Truncated Cone

    What data do you need to calculate the failure point of a truncated cone when it is under uniaxial stress acting downward on the cone? The cone will be under stresses of roughly 30 tonnes and probably constructed of plastic. Thanks,
