  1. The design process and material search space Steps in Materials Selection: Market need Material & process needs All materials Design requirements Selection has 4 basic steps Material search space Data for all materials Step 1 Translation: express design requirements as constraints & objectives Concept Screen, rank and processes, low precision Step 2 Screening: eliminate materials that cannot do the job Data for fewer materials Screen, rank Embodiment or processes, higher precision Step 3 Ranking: find the materials that do the job best Screen, Data for one material rank Detail or process, highest precision Step 4 Supporting information: explore pedigrees of top-ranked candidates Final choice More info: Product specification “ Materials Selection in Mechanical Design ”, Chapters 5 and 6 ME 499-699 Fall 2006 Slides 3 -2 Step 1: Translation Step 1: Translation Translation: “express design requirements as constraints and objectives” Function � What does the component or structure have to do? Design requirements � Support a load Analyze: � Contain a pressure Function What does the component do ? � Transmit heat, … Objective Constraints What essential conditions must be met ? � What is to be maximized or minimized? Objectives What is to be maximized or minimized ? � As cheap as possible Free variables Which design variables are free ? � As light as possible � As strong as possible, … Terminology � A “solution” is a material choice that meets all the constraints ME 499-699 Fall 2006 ME 499-699 Fall 2006 Slides 3 -3 Slides 3 -4 1

Step 1: Translation Step 1: Translation Constraints Free Variables � What essential conditions must be met? � Which design variables are free? � Component must be of a certain length � These variables are under our control to � Component must carry a certain load change in order for the component to perform � Component must operate above a certain temperature,… the function, satisfy the objectives, without � Hard Constraints (non-negotiable) violating the constraints � Component MUST meet the specification � The materials choice (one we will always have!) � The beam must support the weight of a 300 lb person � The cross sectional area � Soft Constraints (negotiable) � The cross sectional shape … � Component MAY meet the specification - often aesthetic or cost related e.g. beam should cost less than $50 � If a design can’t meet the soft constraint no one dies ME 499-699 Fall 2006 ME 499-699 Fall 2006 Slides 3 -5 Slides 3 -6 Step 2: Screening Screening Graph Stage – Single property � Design requirements can be qualitative or yes/no 100 � Material must be transparent � Design requirements are often quantitative � Material must be able to operate above 1000ºC 10 Price (USD/kg) � Material must be less dense than water ( ρ < 1000 kg/m 3 ) � Material must have a Young’s modulus > 100 GPa 1 � We can use Property charts to find subset of materials that satisfy screening criteria � Find a stiff (E>100 GPa), cheap material (<$0.50/kg) for 0.1 building and highway construction MaterialUniverse:\Ceramics and glasses MaterialUniverse:\Hybrids: composites, foams, natural materials MaterialUniverse:\Metals and alloys MaterialUniverse:\Polymers and elastomers Material ME 499-699 Fall 2006 ME 499-699 Fall 2006 Slides 3 -7 Slides 3 -8 2
