Ashby Method

The Ashby Method, developed by engineer W. J. Ashby, focuses on selecting the best materials for a specific application in engineering and design. This method involves analyzing material properties, such as strength, weight, and cost, to find the optimal balance among them. By using graphical charts, designers can visualize different materials and their performance, enabling informed decisions. This systematic approach helps ensure that the chosen materials meet performance requirements while being efficient and cost-effective, ultimately leading to better product design and innovation.
