Can someone please give me a bit of advise. I was dealing with impact toughness of materials today, which I haven't dealt with since uni days. I was involved in charpy testing. I understand the concept of finding the impact toughness from the test [ m x g x (h2 - h1) ]. But what I can't get my...

i don't think i am asking the question correctly. In other words what I mean is, say for instance you had a pipe of 355 MPa Yield Strength. If two pipes had the same outer diameter but one was 1 inch thick and the other 2 inches thick, does the 2 inch thick pipe have double the yield strength of...

how do you tell how much load it can take then in relation to yield strength.

The term yield strength is always bugging me deciphering the actual use in some cases. If I had a plate 3m x 2m 30mm material of Yield Strength 355N/mm², does this mean the maximum allowable force at one point on the plate is 10,650N (355 x 30mm), not taking into account safety factors...
