Which Polymer Materials Meet These Specific Criteria?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around identifying polymer materials that meet specific criteria using EduPack Level 2 Sustainability. The criteria include maximum density, operating temperature, yield strength, and the ability to be injection molded.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant outlines the criteria for selecting polymer materials, including maximum density of 1800 kg/m3, a minimum operating temperature of 100°C, a yield strength greater than 50 MN/m2, and the requirement for injection molding capability.
  • Another participant questions what "EduPack" is, indicating a lack of familiarity with the software.
  • A subsequent reply provides a brief description of EduPack as software used for material selection.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion does not appear to have any consensus, as participants have not yet engaged in a detailed exploration of the criteria or the software's application.

Contextual Notes

There are no specific limitations noted, but the discussion lacks depth regarding the application of the criteria and the use of EduPack.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be of interest to students or professionals involved in materials science, engineering, or those seeking to understand material selection processes using software tools.

i) Use EduPack Level 2 Sustainability to find the Polymer materials that satisfy ALL of the following criteria: - Maximum Density permissible is 1800 kg/m3 - Maximum Operating Temperature must be at least 100°C - Yield strength (Elastic Limit) > 50 MN/m2 - Can be injection moulded From this list find the cheapest TWO materials. (Hint: Use limit stage for the first three criteria then use tree stage (remember to change to processes) for “mouldability”. Cut and paste the list passing all stages. Then do a bar chart price on y axis. Find the cheapest two).

What the heck is "EDUPACK"?

its a software in which you can find materials. Pretty cool stuff
