END-3608 Materials Selection in Product Design - 7.5 ECTS
Course content
The interaction between function, shape (geometry) and material selection in engineering design will be studied (especially in terms of mechanical design). Among other things, the following points are central to the discipline:
- Design Process
- Materials and material structures
- Selection of materials for components exposed to certain stresses
- Development of materials indices and the use of these
- Specific case studies
- Shape Factors
- Use available charts to select the right material for concrete products.
Objectives of the course
Learning outcome:
After completing the course, the students will have knowledge in mechanical engineering design. The students will be able to:
- through a systematic method to choose the most suitable material and form in technical design of various products
- find the material indices of different problems and to use it to find the best materials
- analyze and find the failure mechanisms by using a failure mechanism chart
- understand what the shape efficiency is and use the shape factors to optimize different components or products
Assessment
Assessment
Oral presentation and examination by using Teams, Skype etc.
In order to attend the oral examination, the students must deliver a report based on tasks given in the course, that must be handed in electronically via Viseflow one week before the examination. The student will obtain the grade "Pass" or "No Pass" on the basis of presentation/examination. The grading "Pass" will be given when the projects is minimum at the level equal to the grading letter "C".
There will not be arranged a re-sit/ continuation exam for this course.
