Abstract

The purpose of this final chapter is to highlight some of the considerations given in the foregoing ones by drawing detailed examples and case histories from the literature. The examples are not intended to illustrate exhaustively all of the material considered in the previous chapters, but rather have been chosen so that the designer can gain some appreciation as to the process of materials selection and its importance in design and manufacturing considerations.
