3 Question for the Semester We imagine a future in which geographically distributed engineers collaboratively develop, build, and test solutions to design-manufacture problems encountered in the product realization process. We recognize that solutions evolve over time. Accordingly, we expect you to build on what has been done before. In this context, we want you to provide a method to support the realization of products for a global marketplace through distributed design and manufacture. How should the P&B systematic design method be personalized and augmented to support the realization of products for a global marketplace in a distributed environment? ======== Personalized made usable for realizing all types of systems Augmented made usable for designing for a global marketplace and a distributed environment 3

4 Steps to Answer the Q4S 4 Part 1 Describe your world of 2020 Part 2 Understand your world of today Part 3 In the context of the preceding postulate your method; one that you will be able to evolve into the methods required in your world of 2020

5 Scaffolding to Answer the Q4S Internalize P&B (A1) Critically evaluate answers to the Q4S proposed by others (A2) Identify the characteristics of the world of 2020 and the requirements list for your method for 2020 (A2) Learn how to verify your personalized and augmented method for 2020 (A3) Identify a base method plus verification strategy for your answer to the Q4S and a method for verification (A4, Mid- Term) Develop the base method you have identified to meet the requirements for the method (A5 A7) Postulate how you will design sustainable engineering systems for a global marketplace.

11 Materials Design Example Consider a simple example Say that you are designing a sandwich. You plan to add many items in your sandwich. Therefore, you decide that the bread must be particularly strong. You also would like to design a healthy bread using whole grains. Product Sandwich Material Bread Material Requirements Strong bread, whole grains Requirements Building Blocks Processing Material Product 11 Materials Design

12 12 Definition of Materials Design from Class??

13 Materials Design Definition Materials design is the process of tailoring material properties to meet the requirements of specific design problems *. Tailoring material properties Materials can be tailored or adapted to produce new materials with specific properties and performance levels. Requirements Material requirements detail the minimum material performance level necessary for a successful product design. Design problems Materials are incorporated in all product design problems. *Seepersad, C. C., 2004, A Robust Topological Preliminary Design Exploration Method with Materials Design Applications, Ph.D. Dissertation, G. W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA. 13

14 Why is Materials Design Important? Engineers are able to design application-specific materials Many current materials cannot meet complex or multifunctional design requirements Shape Memory Insulator Low Cost Material Requirements Low Density Low Thermal Expansion Magnetic Water-Resistant 14 High Thermal Conductivity High E

21 Material-Driven Design Material-driven design describes a paradigm of incorporating materials in product designs. Materials are chosen based on availability, familiarity, or previous success. Materials are not tailor-made to meet specific design requirements. Product Material Product Requirements Design Process Product Layout / Dimensions 21 Product dimensions are directly linked to product material For fixed load conditions, product material determine product dimensions Material-Driven Design Material Selection Material Design

22 Material-Driven Design Example Consider a blacksmith in the Middle Ages designing a knight s sword. The sword will be made using iron. The sword must not fail under certain loading conditions. The length and cross-section of the sword are determined by the material, loading conditions, and overall geometry. Iron Not fail Design Process Cross-Section Length 22 Material-Driven Design Material Selection Material Design

23 Material Selection Material selection is a method of using a vast material database for selecting the best materials for product designs. The material selection method is the textbook Materials Selection in Mechanical Design by Michael F. Ashby. Product Requirements Material Database Design Process Product Layout / Dimensions Product Material 23 Product dimensions influence product material Product material is not determined until late in the design process Material-Driven Design Material Selection Material Design

24 Material Selection Method for material selection in product design as detailed in Materials Selection in Mechanical Design, by Michael F.

25 Material Selection The preliminary selection DSP and selection DSP can be used throughout the material selection process.

26 Material Selection Screening materials based on Ashby s textbook Materials Selection in Mechanical Design 1. Identify the property limits imposed by the product design. For example, consider that you are designing a component of a water heater. The product must be able to perform well at high temperatures. You determine that the fracture strength of the part must be 100 MPa at 200 C. Look at a material graph of: Strength of Material as f(temperature) vs. Temperature 26 Material-Driven Design Material Selection Material Design

27 Material Selection Screening materials based Feasible on Ashby s Design Space textbook Materials Selection in Mechanical Feasible Design Space 1. Identify the property limits imposed by the product design. For example, consider that you are designing a component of a water heater. The product must be able to perform well at high temperatures. You determine that the fracture strength of the part must be 100 MPa at 200 C. Look at a material graph of: Strength of Material as f(temperature) vs. Temperature 27 Material-Driven Design Material Selection Material Design

28 Material Selection Ranking materials based on Ashby s textbook Materials Selection in Mechanical Design 2. Identify the form (basic geometry) of the part. Cantilever? Shaft? Gear? What s the cross-section? 3. Detail the function (load requirements) of the part. What loading conditions will the part experience? 4. Write objective function(s). What do you want to maximize/minimize? Part weight? Deflection? Cost? Size? 5. Develop material index based on loading conditions and objective function(s). 6. Use material property charts to identify and rank a subset of possible materials. 28 Material-Driven Design Material Selection Material Design

31 Materials Design Materials design is developing and constructing materials with specific qualities to meet design requirements. New materials are only limited by available elements, physical laws, and chemical laws. Design freedom is maintained later in the design process. Product Requirements Product Layout / Dimensions Design Process Product Material Product Layout / Dimensions 31 Product dimensions are input or output parameters set by the designer There is a weak coupling between product material and geometry Material-Driven Design Material Selection Material Design
