Basics of Material selection for mechanical design engineers




Basics of Material selection for mechanical design engineers

Materials are an integral part of mechanical design and engineering.

Understanding of properties , how they matter for product performance are a key knowledge set for any engineer designing products big or small .

This course attempts to provide insights into the following topics

  • Role of material selection in Design process

  • The importance of materials

  • Types of materials

  • The Mechanical properties

    • Modulus

    • Ductility and brittleness

    • Strength

    • Hardness

    • Resilience and Toughness

    • Fracture toughness

    • Fatigue strength

    • Wear

    • Creep

    • Internal damping - loss coefficient

  • Thermal properties - Conductivity, Thermal expansion  and heat capacity

  • Introduction to peculiar nature of various base materials and composites

  • Material charts

  • Material selection process

  • Material indices

    • Derivation of indices for various loading application

    • Applying indices on the Ashby charts for material selection

The course is intended to be a starting point for deep study into material selection .

Materials is of course a very vast subject . This course can be a good reference to get a taste for the field of material selection.

If you are a design engineer and looking to refresh and maybe pickup on new concepts regarding materials this course will be for you .

If you are a student who is looking to start their learning journey in area of materials of mechanical design  for product development then this should be a good starting point.

Course is designed to be precise and to the point and focuses on concepts and not only the facts .
