Study Notes
Engineering Design and Material Selection
- Lecture 10 focused on materials and their properties
- Course schedule included topics such as Introduction and Sketching, Engineering Design, Technical Drawing, CAD, and Material Selection
Learning Objectives
- Students will learn a categorization of materials into families and understand their mechanical behaviors.
- They will learn the definition and relation of stress and strain through simple material laws.
- Students will learn material deformation behaviors, focusing on bending, and its mathematical expressions.
Case Study: Ski Design
- Ski function: transmitting force from the user to the ski for motion control.
- Ski requirements: withstanding environmental forces, bending at desired levels by the skier, providing torsional resistance, reducing vibration, easy turning, and resistance to environmental factors (temperature and wear).
- Ski design compromises variables to match skier weight, technique, and use.
Overview - Design Dependencies
- Function: a product or system task independent of solutions
- Dependencies: fulfilling a function requires a specific shape, feature, size, specific material properties (e.g. elasticity and thermal properties), and interaction with the manufacturing process in selecting processable materials. Manufacturing process influences design function.
History: Material shapes technology
- Timeline of material development, showing the relative importance of different material families (e.g., stone, bronze, iron, polymers, ceramics, etc.) through history up to the 2020s
- Material shapes technology evolution
History: Material Technology
- Trends in material technology: closer interaction of shape, material, process, and function; multi-material designs; highly complex design spaces; computational design approaches including AI.
- Examples of emerging materials - floating steel, artificial trees, and multi-material designs.
Material Families
- Categorization of materials into families (steel, aluminum, cast iron, alloys, silica glass, soda-lime glass, borosilicate glass, polymers, ceramics, hybrid materials.)
- Properties of each family (e.g., metals are strong but can be heavy, polymers are lightweight).
- Importance of a common language to select materials
Life Cycles and Materials
- Organic and inorganic materials: characteristics and life cycles.
- Importance of material cycles (recycling, reusing, etc).
- Considerations for toxicity and disposal in materials handling
Question: Diving Board Material Selection
- Given a diving board design, students need to choose the most suitable material among the options: wood, steel, fiberglass, and glass.
Material Data Sheet: Stainless Steel
