Recap
Shape factors (SF), significance of SF, derived SFs for
common loading conditions
Microscopic shape factors, derived SFs for common shapes
Combined Macro and microscopic shape factors
Graphical approach of solving problem: 4 Q approach,
limitations were also highlighted
Calculated Materials Indices that includes shape, this can be
used for any material selection problem that involves shape
as a variable
Material-Shape co-selection
The indices can be used to allow comparison and
selection of best material-shape combinations:
will seek maximum of Material indices
The co-selection of Material and Shape can be
carried by two ways:
1. Calculations
2. Graphical
Problem: By calculations
Your task would be is to select best material from the
choices given below in the table for a stiff beam of
minimum mass. Note that you have to propose your choice
for both when shape is variable and when it is not.
Fixed shape
Shape as a variable
Introduction of shape
has moved material
below the line to above
the line
Processes
What is a process?
A process is a method of shaping, joining and finishing a
material
Examples of various processes
1) Sand casting
2) Injection molding
3) Fusion welding
4) Electro polishing
Processes
It is important to choose the right process-route at an early
stage in the design before the cost-penalty of making
changes becomes large.
What could be the factors on which the choice of a process
for a given component depends?
1) Material
2) Shape
3) Size, required precision, quantity.......
Process
attributes
Material-Process-Shape Interaction
Included process now
Processing selection
depends on material
and shape.
The process
attributes can be
used as criteria for
selection
Process-property Interaction
Processing has dual functions
Soft, stretchy rubber becomes hard and
brittle when vulcanized
Annealing a metal increases its ductility
Glass becomes bullet-proof through a
specific heat treatment
Electroplating improves corrosion
resistance
Strengthening
mechanisms and the
consequent drop in
ductility, here shown for
copper alloys. The
mechanisms are
frequently combined. The
greater the strength, the
lower the ductility.
