Materials Selection in Mechanical Design
Author: Michael Ashby
Publisher:
Butterworth-Heinemann
New materials enable advances
in engineering design. This book describes a procedure for material selection in
mechanical design, allowing the most suitable materials for a given application
to be identified from the full range of materials and section shapes available.
A novel approach is adopted not found anywhere else.
Materials are introduced through their properties; materials selection
charts (a new development) capture the important features of all materials,
allowing rapid retrieval of information and application of selection techniques.
Merit indices, combined with charts, allow optimisation of the materials
selection process. Sources of material property data are reviewed and approaches
to their use are given. Material processing and its influence on the design are
discussed. The book closes with chapters on aesthetics and industrial design.
Case studies are developed as a method of illustrating the procedure and as a
way of developing the ideas further.
This second
edition is updated fully throughout with respect to materials developments and
properties. There are new sections on materials selections aids, and new case
studies are introduced where appropriate
