Abstract
AbstractThe contribution deals with material selection strategy in mechanical design. Material selection is tackled in four steps. The first step is translation—reinterpreting the design requirements in terms of function, constraints, objectives, and free variables. The second step is screening—deriving attribute limits from the constraints and applying these to isolate a subset of viable materials. The third step is ranking—ordering the viable candidates by the value of a material index, the criterion of excellence that maximizes or minimizes some measure of performance. The last step is documentation—seeking documentation for the top-ranked candidates.KeywordsMaterial selection strategyMaterial property chartsMaterial indices
