Same Material For Same Part
Problem solving material selection
Searching material selection
The material is selected among the few materials
the design engineer is familiar with.
A property has given rise to problems. A new material
is chosen in the same group of material with a higher
value of the property.
The designer takes more or less randomly intoaccount one requirement at the time.
Drawbacks with Intuitive Methods
Important requirements have often given rise to failures in operation.
First solution at hand is taken which is not very likely to be good solution.
The solution is typically far from the optimum giving the part poor competitiveness.
