Talk:Material selection

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ashby's book is entitled "Materials selection..." but I always felt that was ungrammatical and incorrect -- incorrect because the methodology applies to selection of a single material. I added a redirect here from Materials selection to cover that base in case people use that name.

If enough people disagree with me, I am fine with renaming this to "Materials selection" and putting a redirect from "Material selection".

[edit] To do

Tighten up the cost section with citation(s) for more recent $/kg values (these are from memory in a presentation 10-15 years ago).

More than two attributes: those funny web-like plots, difficulty of objective comparison between materials in such circumstances.

Multiattribute utility analysis and cost.
