<Michael Ashby> develops methods for <material selection> in engineering design. <Materials selection charts> compare properties across families of materials, while <material performance index> values express what a particular design objective rewards. This connects a choice of material to a component's <function> and constraints, such as low mass with adequate stiffness. His institutional profile identifies materials and design as central themes of his work.https://www-edc.eng.cam.ac.uk/people/michael-ashby[research and publications]{ref}
