Interactive material selection case studies

These case studies are based on the work of Professor Mike Ashby in the book Materials Selection and Mechanical Design and in CES EduPack. They have been made into interactive case studies that students can access via a web browser (if flash is enabled). This work has been supported by the UK Centre for Materials Education.

You can get access to these resources by registering for free. By registering on this page, you will receive a user name and password to download open access teaching resources. They are the ones with the blue OER logo next to them. The files are approximately 3MB and will take some time to open. The external links to other resources in the case studies will only work if your browser security settings allow that.
The open access teaching resources are aimed at undergraduates on materials-related courses across different science, engineering and design disciplines. Most do not require the use of the CES EduPack. They include interactive case studies, data booklets and material property charts.
