Main themes 1. Basics of materials selection procedures - Space of materials, processes and products - Recall of structural mechanics basics - Performance indices - Selection methods (+ training to the software developed at Cambridge by M. Ashby) 2. Transversal aspects - Coatings, thin films and multilayers, mechanical, chemical and durability aspects. - Lightweight and ecoefficient structures, truss lattices, sponges, foams, … - assembling (bonding, welding, riveting, self-assembly, brazing …) - biomimetism - others 3. Applications examples - materials selection by nature (bones, wood, …) - materials selection in advanced engines (turboreactor, …) - materials selection for microelectronics applications - materials selection for aeronautical structures - materials selection in nuclear applications - …
Aims This course provides an introduction to the modern procedures of materials selection with respect to a set of performances. The focus is essentially on structural properties but the course also addresses issues related to multifunctionality in which biological, functional and structural properties are combined. The course opens to modern materials which more and more consists of multimaterials systems, comprising composites, multilayers, coatings, assemblies, functionalized surfaces. At the end of the course, the students will master (1) the basic concept of materials selection procedures and (2) the methodologies involved in such procedures. They will be able to explain the importance of the "multiproperty" dimensions in the selction of materials and the link with optimized structures. They will also be able to analyse specific engineering problems.
