I need to find a material that they use on undercarriages and has a high young's modulus (modulus of elasticity). Atm i have one at 93Gpa but it doesnt do the job.
appreciate the help if any of you are in this area
what a work of art is man, and the most boring choice you can make
You...may have difficulty finding someone on here who knows this. I know it's probably a shot in the dark and all, but it's also a pretty obscure question for a forum related to Gaming and such.
Heck, I work in the aerospace field and I haven't the slightest clue what a "high young's modulus" is. Then again, I'm not an Aerospace Engineer or anything, so perhaps that's why.
All I can really help you with is that typically most aircraft undercarriages utilize magnesium alloys quite a bit, though that's more for it's strength to weight ratio and its resistance to corrosion. Having no idea what you've currently tried to use so far though, I really don't know what else to suggest.
As a matter of fact, magnesium and titanium alloys are typically used in aircraft for their high Young's Modulus. I'll go dig up my old Strength of Materials text and see what I can find, though off the top of my head titanium has about the 93 GPa you're rocking right now.
EDIT: Young's Modulus, better known as modulus of elasticity. Umm... Ti-6A1-4V has a modulus of 120 GPa. Other than that, your best bet for strength to weight is probably something carbon fiber composite or similar; Kevlar plastic has about a 131 GPa modulus.
If you're not concerned with weight, go with a steel alloy. Structural A36 has 200 for not quite twice the density of titanium, and Tool L2 is similar.
