        abstract = {This paper attempts to present a comprehensive methodology for the design and development of a new aluminum alloy extrusion, for structural application, from initial concept to final product validation. The process is outlined as a series of integrated steps, beginning with the design of sectional profile to meet application requirement, material selection, derivation of Mechanical properties of the section, calculation of loads for a structural assembly, structural analysis & die design considerations. This paper tries to provide a valuable guide for engineers to design efficient and optimal extruded components for structural applications. Here a typical Solar PV Module mounting structure is used as an example to demonstrate the steps involved.},
