Comes with a CD-ROM packed with a variety of problem-solving projects.

In celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of its original publication, Carol Shields's Pulitzer Prize'winning novel is now available in a Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition ONE OF THE MOST successful and acclaimed novels of our time, this fictionalized autobiography of Daisy Goodwill Flett is a subtle but affecting portrait of an everywoman reflecting on an unconventional life. What transforms this seemingly ordinary tale is the richness of Daisy's vividly described inner life'from her earliest memories of her adoptive mother to her awareness of impending death.

Packed with hundreds of detailed illustrations! THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO CAM TECHNOLOGY! The transformation of a simple motion, such as rotation, into linear or other motion is accomplished by means of a cam -- two moving elements mounted on a fixed frame. Cam devices are versatile -- almost any specified motion can be obtained. If you work with industrial applications where precision is essential, the "Cam Design Handbook" is a key resource you'll need handy at all times. You'll find thorough, detailed coverage of cams in industrial machinery, automotive optimization, and gadgets and inventions. Written with tremendous practical insight by engineering experts, the "Cam Design Handbook" gathers the information you need to understand cam manufacture and design. Comprehensive in scope and authoritative in nature, the book delivers a firm grasp of: * The advantages of cams compared to other motion devices * Computer-aided design and manufacturing techniques * Numerical controls for manufacturing * Cam size and profile determination * Dynamics of high-speed systems Get comprehensive coverage of: * Basic curves * Profile geometry * Stresses and accuracy * Camwear life predictions * Cam system dynamics * And more!

Broad coverage of digital product creation, from design to manufacture and process optimization This book addresses the need to provide up-to-date coverage of current CAD/CAM usage and implementation. It covers, in one source, the entire design-to-manufacture process, reflecting the industry trend to further integrate CAD and CAM into a single, unified process. It also updates the computer aided design theory and methods in modern manufacturing systems and examines the most advanced computer-aided tools used in digital manufacturing. Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing consists of three parts. The first part on Computer Aided Design (CAD) offers the chapters on Geometric Modelling; Knowledge Based Engineering; Platforming Technology; Reverse Engineering; and Motion Simulation. The second part on Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) covers Group Technology and Cellular Manufacturing; Computer Aided Fixture Design; Computer Aided Manufacturing; Simulation of Manufacturing Processes; and Computer Aided Design of Tools, Dies and Molds (TDM). The final part includes the chapters on Digital Manufacturing; Additive Manufacturing; and Design for Sustainability. The book is also featured for being uniquely structured to classify and align engineering disciplines and computer aided technologies from the perspective of the design needs in whole product life cycles, utilizing a comprehensive Solidworks package (add-ins, toolbox, and library) to showcase the most critical functionalities of modern computer aided tools, and presenting real-world design projects and case studies so that readers can gain CAD and CAM problem-solving skills upon the CAD/CAM theory. Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing is an ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, and industrial engineering. It can also be used as a technical reference for researchers and engineers in mechanical and manufacturing engineering or computer-aided technologies.

Addresses important topics of DFM, including how it relates to concurrent engineering, management issues, getting started in DFM, how to justify using DFM, applying quality tools and how DFM is affecting computer technology (and vice versa). Covers topics starting with the creative thinking process, to combining DFM with geometric dimensioning and tolerancing. Also includes product design information that designers should know when committing pen to paper or mouse to mat.

This third edition has been written to thoroughly update the coverage of injection molding in the World of Plastics. There have been changes, including extensive additions, to over 50% of the content of the second edition. Many examples are provided of processing different plastics and relating the results to critiCal factors, which range from product design to meeting performance requirements to reducing costs to zero-defect targets. Changes have not been made that concern what is basic to injection molding. However, more basic information has been added concerning present and future developments, resulting in the book being more useful for a long time to come. Detailed explanations and interpretation of individual subjects (more than 1500) are provided, using a total of 914 figures and 209 tables. Throughout the book there is extensive information on problems and solutions as well as extensive cross referencing on its many different subjects. This book represents the ENCYCLOPEDIA on IM, as is evident from its extensive and detailed text that follows from its lengthy Table of CONTENTS and INDEX with over 5200 entries. The worldwide industry encompasses many hundreds of useful plastic-related computer programs. This book lists these programs (ranging from operational training to product design to molding to marketing) and explains them briefly, but no program or series of programs can provide the details obtained and the extent of information contained in this single sourcebook.
