Example – Materials for table legs Luigi Tavolino, furniture designer, conceives of a lightweight table of daring simplicity: a flat sheet of toughened glass supported on slender, unbraced, cylindrical legs. The legs must be solid and as light as possible (to make the table easier to move). They must support the table top and whatever is placed upon it without buckling.What materials could one recommend.

Objective function Example – Materials for table legs The Model The leg is a slender column of density ρ and modulus E. The load P and its length l are determined by design (fixed). The radius r of the leg is a variable. We wish to minimize the mass m of the leg. Product Design and Manufacturing, SJSU
= Material properties The weight is minimized by selecting the subset of materials with the greatest value of the material index. Example – Materials for table legs The constraint is that the legs must support a design load without buckling. Euler’s buckling equation where I = πr4/4 Solving for the free variable , r, and substituting it into the equation for m gives, Product Design and Manufacturing, SJSU
The thinnest leg is that made of the material with the largest value of the material index. Two material indices, To minimize the weight, both have to be maximize. Example – Materials for table legs Solving the Euler’s formula for r, gives an equation for the thinnest leg which will not buckle: Material properties Product Design and Manufacturing, SJSU
