Study Notes
Engineering Material Selection - CH 560
- The course is titled "Engineering Material Selection" and is part of CH 560.
- The course was taught by Prof. Yehia M. Youssef.
- The date of the lecture notes is October 24, 2024.
The Design Process
- Design is an iterative process.
- Starts with a market need or an idea.
- Ends with a product that fulfills the need.
- The process steps are: conceptual design, embodiment design, detailed design, production specifications, and finally the product. Specifications define how the product will be made.
The Design Process (Flowchart)
- The design process includes steps like considering all options, evaluating the technical viability and function, creating models and analysis of assemblies and components, detailed analysis, production route selection and iterative refinement.
- The process starts with market need which drives the design concept, followed by embodiment, detail, and iterative improvements until the finalized product is produced.
- Design involves iterative steps to refine the design until a satisfactory product is achieved.
Conceptual Design
- The designer considers different working principles or schemes for the system's functions.
- Sub-functions are combined and separated strategically.
- Evaluating the implications of each scheme on performance and cost is crucial.
Embodiment Design
- This stage analyzes the function structure of the component.
- It determines the appropriate operation level for the component.
- The stage includes sizing components, selecting appropriate materials based on stress, temperature, and environmental demands, which are determined by the analysis.
- The embodiment stage ends with a workable product outline, which subsequently proceeds to the detailed design stage.
Detailed Design
- Detailed specifications for every component are developed.
- Precise mechanical and thermal analyses (e.g., Finite Element Analysis) are conducted for critically important components.
- Optimization methods are applied to components (and component groups) to maximize performance.
- Material choices are made.
- The production process is analyzed.
- A cost analysis is performed on the design.
- The stage concludes with detailed production specifications.
Design Tools and Materials Data
- Design tools are utilized for achieving the design stages.
- Engineering science tools facilitate analysis, modeling, and design optimization.
- Computer aided design (CAD) tools and databases containing details about standard components simplify routine aspects.
- Design sophistication increases in each stage (conceptual, embodiment, detailed design) in terms of analysis and modeling detail.
- Material selection progressively restricts the available materials as the design progresses.
Materials Selection
- The question of selecting materials evolves from "which material works?" to "which material works best?"
- The best material is not always the cheapest.
- A trade-off exists between performance and cost.
- The number of potential materials narrows down as design progresses.
- Detailed design can happen only when fewer potential material options remain (reduced options).
Material Property Data
- More precise material data is required as design progresses through various stages.
- Conceptual design requires approximate data for many materials.
- Embodiment design requires precise data from handbooks or databases for specific material types.
- In-house testing is necessary if a component's failure could be catastrophic.
Design Flowchart
- The flowchart depicts the use of design tools during each process stage, and how the material selection process occurs per stage (conceptual, detailed, embodiment).
- Information requirements for materials vary at each stage.
- Different levels of precision and depth of information are needed at every stage.
Function, Material, Shape & Processing
- Material selection is inseparable from shape selection.
- Shape encompasses external aspects like shape and size (macro), and internal structures like cellular or honeycomb patterns (micro).
- Processes, like forming, material removal, and finishing, affect the final product shape.
- The interplay of function, material, shape, and processing is central to the material selection process.
- Function determines the required materials
- Shape complements the function requirements
- Processing depends on material and shape characteristics.
Design Function
- Function statement describes the functions a product must perform.
- Basic and secondary functions were given as an example.
- Examples of secondary functions: staying sharp, resisting plastic deformation, corrosion resistance, elastic deflection and mass reduction, and also processability into a required shape.
- Secondary functions are paired with required material properties.
