Week 6 Material Selection Chart2
Hanafi,JKM,PPD,2015
INTRODUCTION
Basic procedure for material selection is establishing
the link between material and function (Figure 1).
A material has attributes (density, strength, cost,
resistance to corrosion etc.). Refer to Figure 2

Materials Selection
Hanafi,JKM,PPD,2013
Screening
elimination of candidates materials which cannot do the
job at all because one or more of their attributes lies
outside the limits imposed by the design.
Ranking
listing of materials according to their capability to give
the best performance for certain application.

c)Local Conditions
The final choice between competing candidates will often
depend on local conditions e.g.
- in-house expertise,
- equipment,
- availability of suppliers etc.
There is no specific procedure for this part expect totally

Property Limits
Involve the certain level of ability need to be fulfill by
material to carry out the required function.
Example:
If the component must operate at 250C, then all
materials with a maximum service temperature less
than this are eliminated.
The screening procedure uses property limits derived
in this way to reduce the kingdom of materials to an
initial shortlist.

Exercises :
Identify design requirements (function, objective and
constraints) for each product in the stated cases studies.
Case 1 :
A design of cylindrical tie-rod of specified length
l, to carry a tensile force F without failure; it is
to be of minimum mass.

Case 2 :

beam of square section b x b and length l loaded in
Bending which must meet a constraint on its stiffness
S, meaning that it must not deflect more than

Case Study 1
Materials for table legs
Luigi Tavolino, furniture designer, conceives of a
lightweight table of daring simplicity: a flat sheet of
toughened glass supported on slender, unbraced,
cylindrical legs (Figure 1). The legs must be solid (to
make them thin) and as light as possible (to make the
table easier to move). They must support the table top
and whatever is placed upon it without buckling. What
materials could one recommend?

Model
This problem has two objectives: weight is to be minimized, and
slenderness maximized.
There is one constraint: resistance to buckling. Consider
minimizing weight first.
The weight is minimized by selecting the subset of materials
with the greatest value of the material index.
The thinnest leg is that made of the material with the largest
value of the material index

The selection
We seek the subset of materials which have high values
of E 1/2 /p and E. Figure 2 shows the appropriate chart:
Young's modulus, E, plotted against density, p.
A guideline of slope 2 is drawn on the diagram; it
defines the slope of the grid of lines for values of of E 1/2
/p. The guideline is displaced upwards (retaining the
slope) until a reasonably small subset of materials is
isolated above it;
it is shown at the position M I = 6GPa'/*/(Mg/m').
Materials above this line have higher values of
