THE ROLE OF OBJECTIVE FUNCTION IN ENGINEERING DESING
Journal Title: Materials Engineering - Materialove inzinierstvo (MEMI) - Year 2010, Vol 17, Issue 4
Abstract
The process of material choice is a key element in the production of machines, devices and other engineering constructions. Engineering design relates to the design of engineered artifacts formed by materials of various types. Materials play an important role during the entire design process. At the early design stage, materials may achieve some of the required functions. Therefore, designers may need to identify materials with specific functionalities in order to find feasible design concepts including the costs of material and technology. In this paper, an overview of research in materials identification and materials selection is introduced. The objective function was used in the material selection. The assumed demands in industrial practice were verified by means of criteria patterns.

NANOINDENTATION TEST FOR DLC COATING ANALYSIS
In this report the effects of the substrate on the microhardness of Diamond like carbon (DLC) thin films were investigated. The DLC coatings were deposited by Radio Frequency Plasma Actived Chemical Vapor Deposition (RF...
CYCLIC PLASTIC BEHAVIOUR OF UFG COPPER UNDER CONTROLLED STRESS AND STRAIN LOADING
The influence of stress- and strain-controlled loading on microstructure and cyclic plastic behaviour of ultrafine-grained copper prepared by equal channel angular pressing was examined. The stability of microstructure i...
The influence of heat treatment on properties of lead-free solders
The article is focused on the analysis of degradation of properties of two eutectic lead-free solders SnCu0.7 and SnAg3.5Cu0.7. The microstructures of the intermetallic compound (IMC) layers at the copper substrate - sol...
SELF-LUBRICATING THIN FILMS FOR TOOL STEELS
Specimens made from Vanadis 6 cold work tool steel were machined, ground, heat processed by standard regime and finally mirror polished. After that, they were layered with CrAgN. The Ag-content in the layers was chosen t...
