Materials and Process Selection for Engineering Design - Book Information

Materials and Process Selection for Engineering Design, Third Edition

Mahmoud M. Farag
CRC Press, 19-Nov-2013 - Technology & Engineering - 538 pages

Introducing a new engineering product or changing an existing model involves making designs, reaching economic decisions, selecting materials, choosing manufacturing processes, and assessing its environmental impact. These activities are interdependent and should not be performed in isolation from each other. This is because the materials and processes used in making the product can have a large influence on its design, cost, and performance in service.

Since the publication of the second edition of this book, changes have occurred in the fields of materials and manufacturing. Industries now place more emphasis on manufacturing products and goods locally, rather than outsourcing. Nanostructured and smart materials appear more frequently in products, composites are used in designing essential parts of civilian airliners, and biodegradable materials are increasingly used instead of traditional plastics. More emphasis is now placed on how products affect the environment, and society is willing to accept more expensive but eco-friendly goods. In addition, there has been a change in the emphasis and the way the subjects of materials and manufacturing are taught within a variety of curricula and courses in higher education.

Materials and Process Selection for Engineering Design

Mahmoud M. Farag
CRC Press, 13-Dec-2007 - Technology & Engineering - 452 pages

Taking a practical approach, this work illustrates how design, materials, and process selection must mesh together and be considered along with economic and environmental analysis, when developing a new product or changing an existing model. It also considers the trade-offs that must sometimes be made.
This second edition adds and revises topics such as environmental, function, and aesthetic considerations in design; environmental impact assessment of materials and processes; life cycle and recycling economics; and materials substitution.

The book begins with an intro that reviews stages of product development. This is followed by three sections covering—

· Mechanical failures, environmental degradation, and materials that resist different types of failure

· Elements of engineering design and the effect of material properties and manufacturing processes on the design of components

· Economic and environmental aspects of materials and manufacturing processes, as well as quantitative and computer-assisted methods for screening, ranking alternatives, and deciding on the optimum material/process combination

Examples and detailed case studies illustrating practical applications, as well as materials selection and substitution from a variety of industries, are included.

Each chapter begins with clear objectives and ends with a summary, review questions, and bibliography. Appendices supply tables of composition and properties and a glossary of technical terms. SI units are used; with Imperial units given when possible. This student-friendly text demonstrates how to balance design, materials, process selection, and economic and environmental analysis to optimize manufacturing processes for a given component.

The author maintains a book website which features PowerPoint presentations for each chapter, and access to a solutions manual for qualifying instructors.
