Materials and Processes
n As we begin the design procedure we should
keep in mind manufacturing and processing
concerns
n Will the part(s) have thin sections?
n Will the part(s) have thick sections?
n Will the geometry be symmetric or asymmetric?
n Will the part(s) be subject to fatigue?
n Will the part(s) be subject to creep?
n How will the final products operating environment
impact our design decisions for processing and
materials?
