Suitable for mechanical, industrial and production engineering students at both degree and diploma level and for competitive examinations, this contains chapters covering the various topics the subject.

"Materials Science in Manufacturing focuses on materials science and materials processing primarily for engineering and technology students preparing for careers in manufacturing. The text also serves as a useful reference on materials science for the practitioner engaged in manufacturing as well as the beginning graduate student.Integrates theoretical understanding and current practices to provide a resource for students preparing for advanced study or career in industry. Also serves as a useful resource to the practitioner who works with diverse materials and processes, but is not a specialist in materials science. This book covers a wider range of materials and processes than is customary in the elementary materials science books.This book covers a wider range of materials and processes than is customary in the elementary materials science books.* Detailed explanations of theories, concepts, principles and practices of materials and processes of manufacturing through richly illustrated text* Includes new topics such as nanomaterials and nanomanufacturing, not covered in most similar works* Focuses on the interrelationship between Materials Science, Processing Science, and Manufacturing Technology

Offers instruction in manufacturing engineering management strategies to help the student optimize future manufacturing processes and procedures. This edition includes innovations that have changed management's approach toward the uses of manufacturing engineering within the business continuum.

Sponsored and organized by the U. of Wollongong, Australia, the Hong Kong Industrial Technology Research Centre, and Guangzhou U. of China, the December 2009 conference (ICMSE 2009) accepted 978 papers for presentation (from more than 3,000 submissions). These papers are presented in five volumes, with a keyword index in the fifth. Organization is in 24 chapters, each with multiple contributions. Among the primary themes: semiconductor materials manufacturing, precision molding processes, materials forming and behavior, casting and solidification, powder metallurgy and ceramic forming, surface and subsurface interface phenomena coatings, composites, machining, nanomaterials, and computer-aided design, manufacturing, and engineering. A sampling of specific topics: research on stamping spring-back prediction for car body panel based on BP neural network, low cycle fatigue life of SC notched specimens, three-dimensional fatigue crack propagation, and sustainable manufacturing technology and properties of steel stag concrete.

Principles of Economics and Management for Manufacturing Engineering combines key engineering economics principles and applications in one easy to use reference. Engineers, including design, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers are frequently involved in economics-related decisions, whether directly when selecting materials or indirectly when managers make order quantity decisions based on their work. Having a knowledge of the management and economic activities that touch on engineering work is a core part of most foundational engineering qualifications and becomes even more important in industry. Covering a wide range of management and economic topics from the point-of-view of an engineer in industry, this reference provides everything needed to understand the commercial context of engineering work. - Covers the full range of basic economic concepts as well as engineering economics topics - Includes end of chapter questions and chapter summaries that make this an ideal self-study resource - Provides step-by-step instructions for cost accounting for engineers

The manufacturing industry will reap significant benefits from encouraging the development of digital manufacturing science and technology. Digital Manufacturing Science uses theorems, illustrations and tables to introduce the definition, theory architecture, main content, and key technologies of digital manufacturing science. Readers will be able to develop an in-depth understanding of the emergence and the development, the theoretical background, and the techniques and methods of digital manufacturing science. Furthermore, they will also be able to use the basic theories and key technologies described in Digital Manufacturing Science to solve practical engineering problems in modern manufacturing processes. Digital Manufacturing Science is aimed at advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, academic researchers and researchers in the manufacturing industry. It allows readers to integrate the theories and technologies described with their own research works, and to propose new ideas and new methods to improve the theory and application of digital manufacturing science.
