square or round tubing strength after damage
Not a question specific to anything i have just something I thought of. While watchin my programs on spike, it was mentioned that round tubing is stronger for chassis but more difficult fab because of its roundness, hence why square tubing is commonly used. Question is with a dent put in a given length of tubing square vs round. Which is more likely to fail? I would think the round, once dented is more prone to collapse. Where the square would be better off until the damage was severe enough to wrinkle the side walls as well.
Ideas? comments? Am i off my rocker?
