Design engineers can spend a great deal of time rigorously developing models, analyzing structures, and simulating product performance. Good, reliable design data is critical to the design process.
The design engineer faces an ever-increasing demand for products with a performance that must be substantiated under stringent conditions of cost and environment. If invalid material property data are utilized, then valuable engineering time will be wasted.
If the error is detected early during development or testing, then the design and structures will have to be reanalyzed with validated data and new prototypes built and tested. In the worst case, field failures could result in costly corrective actions such as scrapping of raw materials, alternative materials selection, new supplier identification and approval, product redesign, or retooling of production lines.
How do you find--and verify--that you're using accurate information?
