Suppose you had a thin-walled sphere fully submerged in a liquid. The sphere is filled to the equator with a liquid of sufficient density to reach buoyant equilibrium. Will the lateral cross-sectional areas of the thin-walled sphere experience tensile stresses in the longitudinal axis? Why or...

WARNING: Assumptions and approximations ahead! The compressive strength at failure of cyanoacrylate reinforced composite silica aerogel (1) may be as high as 166,084pa at a density of 0.22g/cm^3 if; The sample can support 3200 times its own weight in true compression. The sample is...

I'll check that out, thanks for the link Tom!

I have attempted to use the search term that you suggested but I'm still having difficulty finding the information that I'm trying to find. I really wish I could find a chart that had information like type, density, and compressive strength. Does anybody know where I can find charts that have...

Ok thanks!

Ok thanks a lot, I appreciate your reply and help.

Hello, I'm an avid fan of science and math and love trying to solve the worlds problems using both. While I don't have any formal education in a science or math field I love using my natural talents in those areas whenever possible. I also love anything Science Fiction/Fact or Comedy related...

I have no formal training in any type of engineering, so if my request is confusing, I apologize. I believe I am seeking data on the ultimate internal stress of various silica aerogels in compression mode. I found a paper published by Dylan J. Boday where CVD of cyanoacrylates was used to...
