Material selection for optimal environmental impact in Fizzy drink container based on Aahby's chart

Abstract

The purposes of this project was to select a material for fizzy drink container based on Ashby's chart due to less environmental impact. Its looks at one particular method of material selection in mechanical design: material selection chart by Ashby, and show how this methodology can be extended to take environmental factors into account. The design specification is depends on function of the container packaging. Our objectives are to get weightiest and lowest cost of manufacture for 5 chosen materials. Data taking by the validated data and 5 log scale chart are plotted with the same range scale chart are plotted with the same range scale to compare with Ashby's chart. Then, the chart are proven by calculation from the theory in materials selection for mechanical design based on Ashby's method. Finally, the materials chosen will be validated again with the other method in quantitative method of materials selection.
