Comparison of Material Properties

- Plastics: Plasticity, Light weight, Wide choice of colors, Low electrical conductivity, Waterproof, Inexpensive
- Composites: Strong, Light weight
- Ceramics: Strong, High-temperature strength, Low thermal and electrical conductivity, Resistance to wear
Different Classes of Engineering Materials
- Metals: Relatively high stiffness (measured by modulus E), most are soft and easily deformed when pure. Strengthened by alloying and mechanical/heat treatments. Good thermal/electrical conductivity, reactive and corrode readily.
- Ceramics: Non-metallic, inorganic solids. Stiff, hard, abrasion-resistant, retain strength at high temps, good corrosion resistance. Brittle, low fracture toughness. Good electrical insulators.
- Glasses: Non-crystalline (amorphous) solids. Soda-lime, borosilicate (Pyrex). Hard, corrosion-resistant, excellent electrical insulators, transparent to light, but brittle.
- Polymers: Organic solids based on long carbon chains. Low density, floppy (low modulus E). Strength per unit weight comparable to metals. Properties depend on temperature (tough/flexible at room temp, brittle/rubbery at extremes).
- Elastomers: Polymers with extremely low (500-5000x less than metals) stiffness, and ability to stretch and recover shape. Can be strong and tough. (e.g., isoprene, neoprene, butyl rubber, natural rubber, silicones, EVA)
- Hybrids: Combination of two or more materials. (e.g., glass and carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRP), sandwich structures, foams, laminates)
The Design Process
- Scope - Good Mechanical Design, including the role of materials, physical properties, proper functioning, production, and industrial design ((aesthetics: pattern, form, colour, texture, customer appeal)).
- Types of Design -Original – new working principle (e.g., a compact disk, a flash disk). High-purity silicon (transistors), high-purity glass (optical fibers) -Adaptive – refinement of a working principle using new materials (e.g. polymers replacing metals in household goods, carbon fibers replacing wood in sports goods) -Variant – change scale/dimension/design detail (e.g., airplane/boiler sizes and materials are adjusted according to size)
- Technical Systems - assemblies and components put together to perform a function. Material selection occurs at the component level (Example: bicycle-wheel)
