Thank you I will be sure to check that out, and I like this project a lot because I learn new things everyday. Also do you by any chance know if it is possible to get triangular tubing for the bike or is that not a good idea?

Thanks, also to find the strength of the tubing I'd multiply the area of the tube by the Maximum Yield Stress right? Or would there be some other geometry that would affect the outcome?

Hi I'm a high school student and need help with the calculations for a bike design. I am required for the design to use 1.5" mild steel square tubing at 1/16" thick for it. I need to know what the strength of the tubing is before i can make or tweak the design. Can anyone help with my predicament?
