Course Title:
Materials Selection in Mechanical Design
Course Number:
ENG32067.5
Course Description:
A lecture and tutorial based module, which builds on ENG1063 (Materials and Statics), and is complementary to ENG3164 (Engineering Materials). It provides a deeper and broader appreciation of methods for selecting materials as part of mechanical design. Material property charts are used throughout as a means to rapid appropriation of solutions from a wide range of engineering materials. The module includes the selection of materials processes in addition to selection of materials. Approaches that enable multiple constraints and conflicting objectives to be handled are explored. Materials selection and component shape is addressed as a pointer to more sophisticated contemporary approaches such as topological optimisation.
