Titanium in Sport: Calculation & Ideas

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the application of titanium in sports equipment, specifically regarding the calculation of elastic modulus, tensile strength, and hardness for a titanium grille in a cricket helmet. The user seeks assistance in performing these calculations and suggests using MatWeb's alloy selector for titanium alloys as a resource. Additionally, links to supplier pages from Timet and Allvac are provided for further exploration of titanium properties.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of material properties such as elastic modulus, tensile strength, and hardness.
  • Familiarity with titanium alloys and their applications in sports equipment.
  • Basic knowledge of mechanical calculations related to force and material strength.
  • Experience with online material databases like MatWeb.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specific properties of titanium alloys using MatWeb's alloy selector.
  • Learn how to calculate force dissipation in materials, particularly in sports equipment.
  • Explore the mechanical properties of titanium as outlined in supplier documents from Timet and Allvac.
  • Investigate case studies on the use of titanium in various sports applications.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for materials scientists, sports equipment designers, and engineering students interested in the mechanical properties of titanium and its applications in sports safety gear.

I have been asked to make a presentation at school about titanium and I have decided to do it with respect to its use in sport. The only problem that I am having is with trying to do some sort of calculation to calculate the required elastic modulus/ tensile strength/ hardness value required for a specific use. I was thinking of trying to calculate the force dissipated by the titanium grille of a cricket helmet.

Has anybody got any better ideas or can help me with this calculation??
