Abstract Ashby Charts

This document summarizes the development of a Python code to generate Ashby charts for materials selection. The code creates bubble diagrams in logarithmic scale using the ranges of two mechanical or thermal properties from a database of 75 materials categorized into 7 regions. It then groups the diagrams into regions by envelopes created through analytic geometry. Validation showed the Ashby charts generated by the code had percentage differences from baseline charts of 2.8-15%, demonstrating its suitability for materials selection.

Abstract.This study focuses on the development of a programming code to generate Ashby charts,
which are used to optimize the mechanical design process in terms of reduction the materials selection
time. The platform developed was carried out using python programming language and a database
composed of 75 different types of materials that have been categorized in 7 regions (metals, ceramics,
polymers, elastomers, naturals, foams and composites) with their respective mechanical and thermal
properties (Young’s modulus, density, mechanical strength, thermal conductivity, thermal expansion
and maximum service temperature). In order to perform the aforementioned charts, the code first
generates bubble diagrams in logarithm scale using the range of values of two desired properties, and
then, the diagrams are grouped into regions through an envelope that is created using analytic ge-
ometry. For validation of the platform and the methodology, the obtained Ashby charts results were
contrasted with charts provided by the CES Edupack 2017 software, from there the percentage of
differences between the model developed and baseline charts were among of 2,8% to 15%. In conse-
quence, the Ashby Charts obtained with the proposed code they are suitable for use in the materials
selection.

Keywords: Ashby charts, materials, programming code, Python.
