Machine Design I:: Static and Fatigue Failure

The document discusses Ashby plots, which are charts developed by Michael Ashby to aid in material selection based on the relationship between two material properties across different materials. It provides examples of Ashby plots for modulus of elasticity vs. density and strength vs. density. While Ashby plots are useful, other factors like operating environment, cost, and manufacturability must also be considered for material selection. It concludes with a case study on the design considerations for a total hip replacement implant.

Ashby Plots
• Compare ratios: stiffness/weight = E/r
• Specific modulus
Material Selection and Ashby Plots
• Many other important considerations in material
selection:
• Operating environment
• Shipping and storage environment
• Cost
• Manufacturing processes
• And more!

• Challenge:
Case Study: Total Hip Replacement
• Determine a list of design considerations for a
total orthopedic hip implant:

• Total hip replacement


• Damage to hip joint
• Trauma
• Necrosis
• Osteoarthritis

• Surgeon will remove the damaged cartilage and


bone and implant hip prostheses
