2024 Chat with the Expert Discussions

The Chat with the Expert Series has made a return in 2024 featuring SAE Leadership and Industry Experts. 

July 2024 Chat

Material Selection in Mechanical Design 

Friday, July 26th, 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.

This chat will be held on Hopin. Register now


Materials selection enters at each stage, but at different levels of breadth and precision. At the conceptual stage all materials and processes are potential candidates, requiring a procedure that allows rapid access to data for a wide range of each, although without the need for great precision. The preliminary selection passes to the embodiment stage, the calculations and optimizations of which require information at a higher level of precision and detail. They eliminate all but a small shortlist of candidate materials and processes for the final, detailed stage of the design. For these few candidates, highest-quality data are required.



Featuring:
Dr. R. Rajendran| Professor and Head/Automobile Engineering, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Chairman, SAE India Southern Section

What is a Chat?

It's a one to two-day discussion held either live on Hopin or as a live discussion on Connexion+ with a subject matter expert on a variety of technical topics, soft skill development, leadership, and workforce development. Add your voice to this dialogue—ask questions, provide answers, and ultimately, gain insights from SAE and its members from around the globe.
