Nickel

class Nickel(*args, **kwarg)

Bases: Solid

A class representing nickel alloy material properties.

ultimate_tensile_strength

Maximum tensile stress before failure in Pa (1830e6)

Type:

float

ultimate_shear_strength

Maximum shear stress before failure in Pa (1050e6)

Type:

float

ultimate_bearing_strength

Maximum bearing stress before failure in Pa (1830e6)

Type:

float

yield_tensile_strength

Stress at which material begins to deform plastically in Pa (1550e6)

Type:

float

yield_shear_strength

Shear stress at which material begins to deform plastically in Pa (1050e6)

Type:

float

yield_bearing_strength

Bearing stress at which material begins to deform plastically in Pa (1550e6)

Type:

float

minimum_gage_thickness

Minimum manufacturable thickness in m (0.0)

Type:

float

density

Material density in kg/m³ (8430)

Type:

float

Notes

This class implements material properties for nickel alloy based on median values from manufacturer reported data. The zero value for minimum gage thickness indicates that this should be specified based on specific manufacturing capabilities.

Definitions

‘Ultimate Strength’

The maximum stress that a material can withstand before failure

‘Yield Strength’

The stress at which a material begins to deform plastically
