The carbon nanotube with high strength
Space Elevator: Nanotube to the moon ?
The crash of the Columbia may spur development of
The space elevator a 64,000 mile strip of carbon nanotube
Built straight into the air. NASA is working on the problem
Right now. In their plan, elevators would go up and down
The strip, launching things into space. But 64,000 miles
Is just a quarter of the 240,000 miles from Earth to the
Surface of the moon. Other crazy ideas ?

3.1 What is Strain
Definition 1: DISPLACEMENT is the change of position of a
material point during a motion
Definition 2: DEFORMATION is the relative displacement
) ( ) ( X u X X u = +A
) ( ) ( X u X X u = +A
1. , there is no deformation, the bar is experienced a
rigid-body motion.
2. , the infinitesimal segment either elongates or
shortens

Ductile Materials
Brittle Materials:
(1) Material strength is controlled by tensile strength;
(2) Deformation is mainly elastic;
(3) The material failure mechanism is due to bond breaking;
(4) It usually has small toughness;
(5) Examples: Concrete, cast iron, ceramics, dry bone, etc.
Ductile Materials:
(1) Material strength is controlled by shear strength;
(2) Deformation is largely inelastic;
(3) The material failure mechanism is ductile fracture;
(4) It usually has high toughness, i.e. capable of absorbing impact;
(5) Examples: mile steels, copper, aluminums, and various alloys, etc.

Brittle Failure via Ductile Failure
Material toughness
Toughness: Refers to the capacity of a material of absorb energy prior to
failure. Its value is equal to the entire area under the stress-strain curve. In
most cases, the area under the elastic portion of the curve is a very small
percentage of the total area and may be ignored in the calculation of the
modulus of toughness.
To further simplify the calculation, the nonlinear portion of the stress-
strain curve is approximated by a series of straight lines as shown to the right.
