Abstract
In this chapter, we consider cost, although cost was used as a factor of selection in several exercises included in previous chapters. Charts for the comparison of materials based on one criterion of selection, apart from cost, are included in this section. They are very useful because we can define regions that comprise materials with the desired requirements. We conclude this chapter with a new concept, that of attributive analysis, which consists of giving weight to each criterion of selection and, in this way, selecting suitable material considering more than one property.
