Today, with more materials than ever before, the opportunities for innovation are immense. But advance is possible only if a procedure exists for making a rational choice. This book develops a systematic procedure for selecting materials and processes, leading to the subset which best matches the requirements of a design. It is unique in the way the information it contains has been structured. The structure gives rapid access to data and allows the user great freedom in exploring the potential of choice. The method is available as software,1 giving greater flexibility.  \nThe approach emphasizes design with materials rather than materials ‘‘science’’, although the underlying science is used, whenever possible, to help with the structuring of criteria for selection. The first eight chapters require little prior knowledge: a first-year grasp of materials and mechanics is enough. The chapters dealing with shape and multi-objective selection are a little more advanced but can be omitted on a first reading. As far as possible the book integrates materials selection with other aspects of design; the relationship with the stages of design and optimization and with the mechanics of materials, are developed throughout. At the teaching level, the book is intended as the text for 3rd and 4th year engineering courses on Materials for Design: a 6–10 lecture unit can be based on Chapters 1–6; a","cbCaiu17fule93dy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu17fule93dy","pdf",21535024,602,"English","# Preface\n## Core idea and selection procedure\n## Intended learning scope and chapter progression\n## Reference value and modelling use\n## Copyright and permitted chart use","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of Materials Selection in Mechanical Design?\",\"answer\":\"It develops a systematic procedure for selecting materials and processes so the chosen subset best matches the requirements of a design.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the book help readers access and explore material choice data?\",\"answer\":\"The information is structured for rapid access to data, enabling readers to explore potential choices with high freedom in applying criteria.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is the book intended for and how should it be used in teaching?\",\"answer\":\"It is designed as a text for 3rd and 4th year engineering courses, including options for a shorter lecture unit based on early chapters or a longer full course using the entire book.\"}]","Materials Selection in Mechanical Design - Third Edition | PDF",1517]
