This chapter discusses the structural design context for materials selection, the materials selection process, the evolution of computer systems that support the design process, and the needs for ...

Additive Manufacturing enables the direct conversion of complex shapes obtained from computer-aided design or 3D scanning data into physical objects. Thanks to its digital flexibility and efficiency, ...

Selecting the proper materials for a structural component is critical to engineering design. Materials selection is governed by many factors, some of which are in opposition. The principal selection ...
