.... The second step in a new engine design is conceptual design. Conceptual design is a sophisticated analog to the drawing on a napkin. Only enough engineering analysis is done at this stage to determine what likely could be made to work and what likely could not. The aerodynamics engineers define the flowpath...

Abstract As with most engineering materials, the failure of composite materials, no matter how complex, can be divided into three discrete arenas: improper design, improper manufacturing, and improper use of the end product. This article reviews the failure causes from a broad perspective, so...

.... In the conceptual design stage, an alternative might be non-heat-treatable aluminum alloy. In the configuration phase, a specific material, such as ASTM B 209 aluminum alloy 5052-H38, might be an appropriate alternative. Alternatives can be suggested by several sources, including the design engineer's experience...
