RIGIDITY
 
  Rigidity increases as the cube of the thickness of a given material. The rigidity
therefore increases rapidly as thickness increases. C.A.B. in a thickness of
0.250 inch is eight times as rigid as 0.125 inch thick sheet. The relative rigidities of
the various thicknesses of C.A.B. Sheet sold for manufacture are shown in
the table below:
