spring 2019 STE6290 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 for a slender tube and use a failure mechanism chart
- understand what the shape efficiency is and use the shape factors to optimize different components or products
Assessment
Mappeevaluering (portfolio assessment?).
The students will during the course get 3 project tasks that must be delivered as reports electronically in Canvas. Each report will be given a grade, and the total grade will be a mean value of all the grades. Detailed information will be given in Canvas when the course starts.
The reports will form the basis of the overall assessment.
Grading follows A-F grading scale, F is Fail.
There will not be arranged a re-sit/ continuation exam for this course.
