Materials Selection in Mechanical Design describes the procedures for material selection in mechanical design in order to ensure that the most suitable materials for a given application are identified from the full range of materials and section shapes available.
Your selection of material will more than likely have a big impact on many aspects of your design, including effectiveness, cost, build difficulty, and so on.
Materials are an integral part of mechanical design and engineering.
Understanding of properties , how they matter for product performance are a key knowledge set for any engineer designing products big or small .
