Applied Metrology for Manufacturing Engineering, stands out from traditional works due to its educational aspect. Illustrated by tutorials and laboratory models, it is accessible to users of non-specialists in the fields of design and manufacturing. Chapters can be viewed independently of each other. This book focuses on technical geometric and dimensional tolerances as well as mechanical testing and quality control. It also provides references and solved examples to help professionals and teachers to adapt their models to specific cases. It reflects recent developments in ISO and GPS standards and focuses on training that goes hand in hand with the progress of practical work and workshops dealing with measurement and dimensioning.

This book covers design of experiments (DoE) applied in production engineering as a combination of manufacturing technology with applied management science. It presents recent research advances and applications of design experiments in production engineering and the chapters cover metal cutting tools, soft computing for modelling and optmization of machining, waterjet machining of high performance ceramics, among others.

This text emphasizes the importance of sustainable material, design, and manufacturing processes, and how the needs are changing day by day. It comprehensively covers important topics including material recycling, optimal utilization of resources, green materials, biocomposites, clean and green synthesis, stable material properties, utilization of renewable energy sources, ergonomic design, and sustainable design. The text examines the design process, manufacturing, and upscaling of next-generation materials and their application in diverse industries. The text is primarily written for graduate students and academic researchers in the fields of manufacturing engineering, materials science, mechanical engineering, and environmental engineering. Presents an in-depth understanding of the progress of the need for new innovative and next-generation materials. Discusses biocomposites and green materials for eco-friendly products in a comprehensive manner. Explores recycling techniques of materials for sustainable manufacturing. Presents conceptual framework of sustainable product development. Covers important topics such as process optimization, renewable energy, and 3D printing in detail. The text discusses the designing process of these new materials, manufacturing, and upscaling of these materials along with their selection for industrial applications. It further focuses on improving surface homogeneity in nanoparticle scattering during dip coating for stable and efficient wettability during oil/water separation. It will serve as an ideal reference text for graduate students and academic researchers in the fields of manufacturing engineering, materials science, mechanical engineering, and environmental engineering.

Manufacturing, reduced to its simplest form, involves the sequencing of product forms through a number of different processes. Each individual step, known as an unit manufacturing process, can be viewed as the fundamental building block of a nation's manufacturing capability. A committee of the National Research Council has prepared a report to help define national priorities for research in unit processes. It contains an organizing framework for unit process families, criteria for determining the criticality of a process or manufacturing technology, examples of research opportunities, and a prioritized list of enabling technologies that can lead to the manufacture of products of superior quality at competitive costs. The study was performed under the sponsorship of the National Science Foundation and the Defense Department's Manufacturing Technology Program.

This work reviews the basic concepts of co-ordinate metrology. It defines what co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs) are and details how they can be applied to gain a competitive advantage in a variety of business settings, from small machine shops to global manufacturers. Areas that are critical for the successful application of CMMs - including environmental factors, the measuring of speed and accuracy, traceability, versatility and programming methodology - are considered.;The book is intended for manufacturing, mechanical, quality control, design, industrial, automation, automotive and aerospace engineers and managers, as wel as upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.;College or university bookstores may order five or more copies at a special student price, which is available from Marcel Dekker Inc upon request.

This Springer Handbook of Metrology and Testing presents the principles of Metrology – the science of measurement – and the methods and techniques of Testing – determining the characteristics of a given product – as they apply to chemical and microstructural analysis, and to the measurement and testing of materials properties and performance, including modelling and simulation. The principal motivation for this Handbook stems from the increasing demands of technology for measurement results that can be used globally. Measurements within a local laboratory or manufacturing facility must be able to be reproduced accurately anywhere in the world. The book integrates knowledge from basic sciences and engineering disciplines, compiled by experts from internationally known metrology and testing institutions, and academe, as well as from industry, and conformity-assessment and accreditation bodies. The Commission of the European Union has expressed this as there is no science without measurements, no quality without testing, and no global markets without standards.

This book is the result of lessons, tutorials and other laboratories dealing with applied mechanical design in the universities and colleges. In the classical literature of the mechanical design, there are quite a few books that deal directly and theory and case studies, with their solutions. All schools, engineering colleges (technical) industrial and research laboratories and design offices serve design works. However, the books on the market remain tight in the sense that they are often works of mechanical constructions. This is certainly beneficial to the ordinary user, but the organizational part of the functional specification items is also indispensable.
