CH10 Material Selection Questions
with Correct Answers
Material Screening - ANSWERSremoving materials that can never work from
consideration
Material Ranking - ANSWERSranking remaining materials by characterizing
performance of different materials based in material properties
Performance Parameter - ANSWERSfunction of functional parameters, geometric
parameters and material properties to rank materials
Functional Parameters - ANSWERSparameters specified for the function of the design
(carry a load, store energy, transmit torque)
Geometric Parameters - ANSWERSparameters to due with the geometry of the
design(length, width, area)
Material Properties - ANSWERSparameters to due with the properties of the material
Material Selection Index, M - ANSWERSexpression which quantifies the performance of
different material properties (M=σ/ρ)
Material Selection Charts - ANSWERSshow property value ranges for different
materials to simplify material selection process
