| Educational content of the course The Ashby method is a new approach in material teaching which defines performance indices for a given application and look for the best material choice in a large material data base. The first part of the course is based on the book “Material Selection” written by Ashby and also uses a material software developed by Granta Design for practical applications. At the end of the first part, the students will get practice on this software. The second part of the course is focusing on the techniques that make possible to reduce the weight of a metallic structure, mostly by metallurgical means. All techniques/methods/processes are discussed and illustrated with applications. |
