As the only comprehensive text focusing on metal shaping processes, which are still the most widely used processes in the manufacture of products and structures, Metal Shaping Processes carefully presents the fundamentals of metal shaping processes with their relevant applications. The treatment of the subject matter is adequately descriptive for those unfamiliar with the various processes and yet is sufficiently analytical for an introductory academic course in manufacturing. The text, as well as the numerous formulas and illustrations in each chapter, clearly show that shaping processes, as a part of manufacturing engineering, are a complex and interdisciplinary subject. The topics are organized and presented in such a manner that they motivate and challenge students to present technically and economically viable solutions to a wide variety of questions and problems, including product design. It is the perfect textbook for students in mechanical, industrial, and manufacturing engineering programs at both the Associate Degree and Bachelor Degree programs, as well a valuable reference for manufacturing engineers (those who design, execute and maintain the equipment and tools); process engineers (those who plan and engineer the manufacturing steps, equipment, and tooling needed in production); manufacturing managers and supervisors; product design engineers; and maintenance and reliability managers and technicians. Each chapter begins with a brief highlighted outline of the topics to be described. Carefully presents the fundamentals of the particular metal-shaping process with its relevant applications within each chapter, so that the student and teacher can clearly assess the capabilities, limitation, and potentials of the process and its competitive aspects. Features sections on product design considerations, which present guidelines on design for manufacturing in many of the chapters. Offers practical, understandable explanations, even for complex processes. Includes text entries that are coded as in an outline, with these numerical designations carried over the 320 related illustrations for easy cross-referencing. Provides a dual (ISO and USA) unit system. Contains end-of-chapter Review Questions. Includes a chapter on sheet metalworking covering cutting processes; bending process; tubes and pipe bending; deep drawing processes; other sheet metal forming process (stretch forming, spinning, rubber forming, and superplatic forming and diffusion bonding). Provides a useful die classification with 15 illustrations and description; presses for sheet metalworking; and high energy-rate forming processes. A chapter on nontraditional manufacturing process discusses such important processes as mechanical energy processes (ultrasonic machining, water jet cutting); electrochemical machining processes (electrochemical machining, electrochemical grinding); thermal energy processes (electric discharge processes, laser beam machining, electron beam machining); and chemical processes (chemical milling).

The Sheet Metal/HVAC Pro Calc is a versatile calculator that enables tradesmen to calculate complex problems with dedicated key functions that are labeled in standard industry terms. The calculator has other advanced built-in construction-math functions to enable HVAC and sheet metal tradesmen to do their work alongside other trades. In addition to the built-in functions, this calculator can handle order of operation, using the parenthesis operators. It can also perform square, cube, square root, and cube root calculations. Plus, it works as a regular calculator with typical symbols. The calculator can be used to determine ArcK constant for convenient Arc length solutions. And it has an offset functions for "S-shaped" bends in ductwork. It can also help solve the layout for wrapper length, centerline radius, and the angle. Features CUSTOM HVAC & SHEET METAL functions let you simplify Test and Balance (TAB) with built-in Fan Law function: CFM, RPM, SP and BHP; velocity and velocity pressure: FPM, VP, MPS, KPa; ArcK constant for convenient Arc length solutions; and offset functions FUNCTIONS AND TERMINOLOGY consistent with sheet metal and HVAC trade terminology; x, y, r (radius), theta and Seg Radius functions; works in and converts between feet-inch-fractions, decimal feet and inches and metric also converts between polar and rectangular coordinates PARENTHESIS OPERATORS allows you to easily enter complex formulas; order of operations calculations retain familiar mathematical hierarchy as a default preference; trigonometric operation and sequence; and you can calculate square, square root, cube, and cube root; easy non-90 triangles and right-angle solutions for ductwork length and angles MEMORY STORAGE conveniently stores frequently used constants or interim solutions; Memory swap lets you easily insert stored values into current calculations and simultaneously store calculated values while recalling and displaying Memory contents; other settable User Preferences INVALUABLE TRADE TOOL PAYS FOR ITSELF by reducing headaches, saving time, and preventing expensive material errors on all your projects. Comes with a rugged shock, dust and moisture-resistant Armadillo Gear protective case, quick reference guide and complete user's guide, a long-life battery, and a one-year limited warranty.

Originating from the 2019 International Conference on Building Information Modelling this book presents latest findings in the field. This volume presents research from a panel of experts from industry, practice and academia touching on key topics, the development of innovative solutions, and the identification future trends.

The Machinery's Handbook Pocket Companion is a concise yet authoritative, highly useful reference that draws its content from the Machinery's Handbook. Designed as a time saver, the Pocket Companion is an ideal quick resource for anyone in manufacturing, metalworking, and related fields for whom convenient access to just the most basic data is essential. Much of the information has been reorganized, distilled, or simplified to increase the usefulness of this book, while keeping it compact. The Pocket Companion is not intended to replace the new Machinery's Handbook, 31st Edition. Instead, it serves as a handy and more portable complement to the Handbook's vast collection of text, data, and standards. -- Back cover.

Since the first edition published more than 100 years ago, Machinery's Handbook has been acknowledged as an exceptionally authoritative and comprehensive, yet highly practical, and easy-to-use tool, and the new 31st edition has grown to nearly 3,000 pages. The Guide to the Use of Tables and Formulas in the Machinery's Handbook, 31st Edition, is designed to maximize the enormous practical value of the latest, greatest edition of this invaluable engineering resource, offering useful information on how to make full use of the Machinery's Handbook in solving problems on the job. Features Revised to reflect numerous changes made in the new 31st edition, with specific cross references to quickly locate information in the far larger book, the Guide enables users to become familiar with the Handbook's vast range of vital content. Offering more than 150 worked-out examples and nearly 500 review questions (with answers) specially selected for engineers, apprentices, and students, the Guide addresses problems commonly encountered in manufacturing and metalworking. By following practical techniques explained in the Guide and cross-referenced to the Handbook, readers will enhance their ability to reach specific information and solutions more quickly and easily. The Guide also is sold as a standalone eBook and is part of the Machinery's Handbook 31 Digital Edition, which includes the complete contents of the 31st edition, and more.
