Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The specific strengths of the given metals and alloys needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Specific strength is defined as the ratio of strength of material to its density that is strength to weight ratio or strength to mass ratio. The SI unit of this property is N.m/kg.

Specific strength is also known as breaking length and support length.

Carbon fiber, glass fiber, and several polymers are the best example with high specific strength and these materials are mostly used as composite materials.
