Assignment 02

1. Explain the importance of understanding the mechanical properties of materials (such


as tensile strength, hardness, and elasticity) in the selection of materials for a
structural component. Provide examples of how these properties influence material
selection.
2. Discuss the factors influencing the selection of materials for aerospace applications.
Highlight considerations such as strength-to-weight ratio, thermal resistance, and
fatigue performance.
3. Explain the role of materials in sustainable engineering design. How does the
selection of materials impact environmental and economic factors? Provide examples
of "green" materials and their applications.
4. What are the main criteria for material selection in the design of a heat exchanger?
Discuss the importance of corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, and strength
under elevated temperatures.
5. With the help of a flowchart or diagram, explain the steps involved in the Integrated
Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) protocol for developing new materials.
6. What do you mean by morphology of design? Explain briefly.
7. What is the significance of material sustainability? Discuss how environmental factors
influence material selection.
8. Explain the Ashby method in material selection. How does it help engineers select
materials based on specific performance criteria?
9. A chemical plant requires a pipe material to withstand both high temperature and
corrosive environment. Which materials would you recommend, and why?
10. What is the importance of thermal properties (thermal conductivity, thermal
expansion) in material selection?
11. Explain the difference between ductility and brittleness in materials. How do they
affect design choices?
12. What is the significance of hardness in material selection? How does it relate to wear
resistance?
