- Hi Sundar,
- Sorry for the previously posted blank. Simple screw up! However in response
- toyour question. An excellent source or reference book that has physical
- data (densities, constants etc.) on commonly used materials is
- MARKS' STANDARD HANDBOOK FOR MECHANICAL ENGINEERS by Baumeister et al.
- (McGrawaw Hill Publisher). This should be readily available in your
- MIT library. There are also numerous other similar sources with this
- information.
- Lots of luck, Alex
