Engineering Project Planning Insight

Question

Hello to anyone reading this!

I am currently working on a project involving the analysis of real world systems for my engineering mechanics class. The systems that I have chosen would involve calculating the critical buckling load of a crab shell (specifically the leg), along with the frame/truss analysis of a bamboo structure. Given that both are organic materials and can have a wide range of variation, is there a good way to approximate necessary values and constants (such as Young's modulus) and dimensions for the sake of definitive results? Thank you!

Answer 1

Material properties and related constant varies with number of parameters. First start with background research. Select material by studying different materials. If you want more details you can contact me.
