Traditionally, the fatigue design of cast components has been based on extensive material property databases.
The screening methods available range from manual to computer-based packages as either stand alone or linked to materials' properties databases or integrated with other design support tools.
This is followed by the procedures employed for establishment of its materials properties databases and determination of its design allowable values, with emphasis on creep, fatigue and creep-fatigue properties.
The screening methods available for materials selection range from simple manual procedures to sophisticated computer-based packages, as either stand-alone, or linked to materials' properties databases, or integrated with other design support tools.
Designing materials employs physical theory, advanced computer models, vast materials properties databases and complex computations to accelerate the design of a new material with specific properties for a particular application.
Materials property database which allows multiple search routines, including the ability to specify property requirements.
These provide the user with the possibility to seamlessly import data from several structural databases, including the COD [16], ICSD [12], Material Properties Open Database (MPOD) [21], Open Quantum Materials Database (OQMD) [35], as well as a pseudopotential database, the NNIN/C Pseudopotential Virtual Vault [36].
A LCA database should contain two parts: one is the database of material properties; the other is the database of environmental impacts.
The results of corbels that were reported to have failed prematurely and those with insufficient information on the test setup and material properties were excluded from the database, leaving only 455 results in the database.
Based on the database for material properties, the application area of HAMCs has been proposed in the present review.
