Technically, you can’t directly calculate the properties of the metal because I doubt the bars are uniform in cross section.

I’m a student and doing an A level presentation on the use of steel in powerlifting vs. Olympic lifting bars.
I need to find information and sources on the type of steel used in bars of each type, their mechanical properties and consequently, why each type is suitable for their use in powerlifting or Olympic lifting bars.
I’ve found some decent stuff, but some articles which are pure gold I need to buy, such as this one:
I’ve also emailed Eleiko, Ivanko and York, but I’ve got no response so far from the first two, and York told me that it was confidential company information, which is understandable. But surely there must be some general differences in the steel between the two types of bar?
Wondering if anyone with material physics experience or indeed anyone with any potentially useful knowledge could help me out?
Thanks in advance.[/quote]
Hey Dave,
I’m also a student who is searching for more information about the type of steel used in bars of each type. Have you managed to find what you needed? If so, could you help me any further in my research?
Thanks in Advance,
Ludo
Strange bump, but interesting thread.
I’d be more than happy to help!
reads a little more and sees that he is from england
doesn’t want to convert metrics to standard
fuck that shit im out

Should also see that this thread is three years old lol.
Once, giants lived in the Earth. And in the darkness of chaos, they fooled Crom, and they took from him the enigma of steel. Crom was angered. And the Earth shook. Fire and wind struck down these giants, and they threw their bodies into the waters, but in their rage, the gods forgot the secret of steel and left it on the battlefield. We who found it are just men. Not gods. Not giants. Just men. The secret of steel has always carried with it a mystery.
No one really knows how steel works.

Lulz… I was in on this back then.
Best bet for beam loading/stress analysis would be from a decent college level physics text book or Machinery’s Handbook. Any library would have one. I’d keep it absurdely simple if it was for a level 100 or 200 course.

whoops!

Ha. Nice.
Metric is superior to imperial in every single way. Only 3 countries in the entire world use imperial, 'nuff said.
I don’t think I ever ended up giving him the info he wanted, oops.

The three greatest countries. I have to use both and if you grew up on imperial and all your measuring equipment is in it metric sucks.

Yes, but interestingly, those three countries have either conquered or effectively dominated the world (or at least most of it) for 200 years.
I grew up using metric, but a “miles per hour” is a much better measure of speed for an auto than kilometers.
Also, a cup and gallon are great measurements.
As is the inch and foot.
They should have made the metric system such that one kilometer = one mile, one liter = gallon.
Etc.

Doesn’t even matter anymore lol.
“Conan, what measuring system is best in life?”
