Course Objectives This course aims at materials and process selection issues in design by utilizing diverse set of topics such as decision making, optimization, engineering economy, applied statistics, reliability, quality engineering, market identification, conceptual design and environmental impact assessment.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • • Develop quantitative measures of performance for a design by identifying and developing independent and dependent parameters. • Develop optimization equations for selection of materials for defined design projects. • Use material property charts to identify the best performing materials for a given application under multiple constraints and conflicting objectives. • Use material property and process databases for identification of candidate materials and processes. • Assess environmental impact of materials selection in design • Understand quality and safety issues in designing with materials. • Present the results of the materials & process selection optimization process in a clearly written and technically justified written report, including a concise recommendation for materials and processes to be used in a given design.
Course Content Design process, steps of design, design tools, designing against failure, materials and process selection in design, case studies in materials and process selection; quality, safety and economical considerations; material property charts, multiple constraints and conflicting objectives, selection of material and shape, designing hybrid materials, p
