Wanted: Cool Broken Parts .........NSFW
For my materials class here at school we have a project to analyize a broken part and determine the stress/strain, etc, etc on it at failure. I figured I'd ask around and see what people have. Not looking for anything too much bigger than a crank or so, actually a snapped crank would be nice to have, but show me what you got- Bonus for parts from old/exotic cars! Of course I'll pay for shipping when the time comes.
Thanks, and if at all possible please post a pic of the part!
And some thank you for your time ****....








Thats is perfect for the project right there. I did a broken aluminum connecting rod from a dragster (Thanks to stevemode) but it ended up being far more complicated than it needed to be. Most people did really simple things.
I have the pressure plate from my Countach around here somewhere. if I can find it, you can have it. It has several stress cracks around the bolt holes and a chunk missing from the hub.

i have a sheared cv shaft and bent rods/fucked up forged piston

one rod is bent pretty good with heat distortion and color and the piston has a lot of detonation on it too.

i dont have the actual shaft anymore i just have the spline from the tranny side
