What is stronger a round steel pipe or a steel hollow square bar?

By stronger, we need to define the loading conditions of the rod or pipe. The strength of a rod or pipe is typically evaluated with axial, transverse (bending), and torsion loads. With the same diameter and the same material, a solid rod is stronger than a hollow pipe. However, with the same weight and material, the hollow pipe is stronger than a solid rod. Because a hollow pipe is lighter than a solid rod at the same diameter, the hollow pipe would have a larger diameter in order to match weights with the solid rod and a larger diameter rod or pipe is stronger than a smaller diameter one.


What is stronger solid shaft or hollow shaft?

Depends on what you mean by "better". For the same dimensions, a solid shaft will be a bit stronger, but also a lot heavier. If you were to make a hollow shaft of the same weight, but a bigger diameter, it'd be a lot stronger than the solid shaft.


Why is hollow steel pipe stronger than solid steel?

For a given outer diameter, the solid shaft is stronger, but it weighs more.For a given weight, the hollow shaft is stronger because it has a bigger diameter.due to less weight & less bending moment..............the resultant bending moment for a solid pipe is much larger than for a hollow one because of their weight difference


Why are hollow tubes used instead of solid steel tubes?

For the same amount of metal, hollow tubes are much stronger than solid tubes.


Is a hollow part stronger than solid part?

Not usually, but it depends on the direction of stress involved.


Is hollow bones are stronger than a compact bone?

hollow bones are stronger than compact bones


How is a hollow cylinder stronger than a solid cylinder when both have the same mass and length?

if they are short or in tension they are the same, when they bend the hollow tube has a bigger second moment of area and so is stronger to any bending moment


Is BI pipe stronger than GI pipe?

Why do you think chicken bones are stronger than human bones?

Chicken bones are not stronger than the human bones because they are hollow.
