Hi all,
Whats the material or composite which has highest specific stiffness? Say it's more than 300. Thanks. Really need the data...

AlSiC composites have the highest specific stiffnesses from what i've seen.
check this out.

I've only taken one class in mat. sci engineering so you'll have to help me out here.
Specific thickness = Young's modulus / density right?
AlSiC is looking pretty good if that's right
Fiber wise, carbon fiber has the highest of a widely available one.

Good guess, Hellion210;
Scroll down at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young%27s_modulus
Alifu: 300 WHAT? You can't just throw out a number without units on it. Means nothing

Beryllium. As a metallic element.
Not sure what your 300 rating means,sorry.,
