Material Selection for Mechanical Engineers

Catalog description

This course provides students a systematic approach to the selection of materials and processes at various design stages for mechanical engineering applications. The concept of materials performance indices and materials selection charts are introduced with the detailed background of material properties, processing, and mechanics. Structured case studies are shown to use this methodology to select materials for numerous mechanical designs. CES Edu Pack will be introduced as a materials and processes database and a tool for students to compare, analyze and select materials and processes.
