Consider a cantilever beam that is loaded with a transverse force at its tip. The following materials are being considered: tungsten carbide, high-carbon heat-treated steel, polycarbonate polymer, and aluminum alloy. Using the Ashby charts, recommend the best material for a design situation in which failure is by exceeding the strength of the material and it is desired to minimize the weight.
