The main objective of this CU is to provide students with the fundamental concepts of material selection. The seven topics of the programmatic content constitute a natural sequence of presentation of the concepts.
Chapter 1 will give the student a historical overview of the evolution of material use.
Chapter 2 will allow the student to know the concept and alternate types of design. Get to know the design tools.
Chapter 3 will allow the student to know the material databases.
Chapters 4, 5, 6 and 7 will allow the student to interpret tables and material property charts, establish the functional requirements of a component to select materials according to their application, select materials according to the manufacturing process selected, the design of the component to the manufacturing process and finally establish the relationship between the function of the component, the material, the geometry of the component and the processing.1 Introduction: Materials in Design. The evolution of engineering materials and in products
2 The design process. Types of Design. Design tools. Function, material, form and process
3 Engineering materials and their properties. The Families of Engineering Materials. Material properties and their units. Material Property Maps
4 Material selection - the basics. The Selection Strategy. Indices of Merit of Materials. The Selection Procedure. Computer-aided selection. Selection of material taking into consideration the shape. Form Factors. Material indices that include form
5 Processes and Process Selection. Compatibility between material and manufacturing processes. Cost modeling: material, capital, time, energy and information
6 Materials and the environment. Life cycle of a material. Classes of products according to the energy expended in the production of materials, manufacturing processes, use and recycling. Eco-attributes: production, processing, end of life
7 Case-studyTheoretical concepts will be presented in theoretical-practical classes. In these classes will also be proposed simple study cases that will allow to consolidate the presented concepts. Part of these theoretical classes will be aimed at theoretical presentations made by students.
The practical laboratory classes will be devoted to the discussion of the study cases proposed in the theoretical classes and also the follow-up of the two works that students will carry out for evaluation throughout the semester. These two group work will present different degrees of difficulty. The first will serve to consolidate the basic concepts, the second will be an integrative work of all the concepts associated with the selection of materials. This second paper will be the subject of an oral presentation.
