Comparison of Mechanical and Acoustic Properties for Selected Nonferrous, Ferrous, and Plastic Materials

摘要

Mechanical and acoustic properties have been tabulated for 356 nonferrous, 173 ferrous, and 67 plastic materials. These properties include density, Young's modulus of elasticity, ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, strength-to-density ratio, elastic sound speed, and acoustic impedance. The tabulation was accomplished by means of a computer program. The limited number of materials and material properties presented allows the user to make an initial selection. Further information on similar materials should be obtained from other sources. (Author)
