CSEF · 2016 Applied Mechanics & Structures
Overview
Objectives/Goals The objective of this project is to see the strength of an egg compared to its shape. Methods/Materials 1 Caliber 1 Digital Scale 5 Jumbo Size Eggs 5 Extra Large Egg 5 Medium Eggs 5 Large brown Eggs 1 F-Clamp 1 Permanent Marker Pencil Notebook Results Several eggs were cracked using a vise to see the strength compared to its shape. Conclusions/Discussion My results show that if one part of a structure is weak than it will cause the whole thing to come down.
Summary statement
My project is about seeing if the shape of an egg affects its shape.
