| Volume 20: Materials Selection and Design |
| 901pp, 1997 |
| Whether you're a seasoned engineering professional, an engineer just getting into the world of engineering, a nontechnical person involved in some aspect of manufacturing a product, or an engineering student with an eye on a bright future in industry, you will benefit from the information in Materials Selection and Design. |
| Materials Selection and Design is a comprehensive reference on the basic concepts, methodologies, and information sources dealing with materials selection and its integration with engineering design processes. It makes the connection between design and materials engineering. |
| Contents include contributions from 100+ experts from industry and universities involved with design, materials selection, and manufacturing. |
| VOLUME HIGHLIGHTS |
| Discusses conceptual and configuration design of products and assemblies. Provides specific design/materials selection situations (such as designing for fatigue resistance, fracture toughness, corrosion and wear resistance, etc.) |
- Contains manufacturing aspects of design including effects of processing/manufacturing on materials and their influence on the design and materials selection process
- Addresses metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites
- Provides many case histories and examples
- Product engineering/design, materials selection, and manufacturing are the result of a team effort in today's manufacturing world. Find out how all the pieces fit together.
|
| These are just some of the questions that are answered in Materials Selection and Design. |
- What is the role of the materials engineer in the design process?
- How does the materials engineer work with and support others throughout the design process?
- What is the relationship among design, materials selection, and process selection with respect to part/product function?
- What is the relationship of engineering design to other departments in a manufacturing company including marketing, industrial design, and manufacturing?
- How do manufacturing and assembly methods influence the properties and cost of a finished product?
