EIN 4391 - Manufacturing Engineering: Books

Manufacturing engineering is a discipline of engineering "dealing with different manufacturing practices and the research and development of systems, processes, machines, tools and equipment". This book aims to provide research and review studies on manufacturing engineering. Also, this book can serve as a useful reference for academics, manufacturing researchers, mechanical manufacturing and industrial engineers, and professionals in related industries with manufacturing engineering.

Many advances in technology are due to the development of new materials and by using patent literature we can monitor how technology has advanced. Exploring Materials through Patent Information describes how different technologies have evolved through the development of their patents, providing students with a guide on how to use patents as a source of information in their research and studies.

The Materials Handbook is an encyclopedic, A-to-Z organization of all types of materials, featuring their key performance properties, principal characteristics and applications in product design. Materials include ferrous and nonferrous metals, plastics, elastomers, ceramics, woods, composites, chemicals, minerals, textiles, fuels, foodstuffs and natural plant and animal substances --more than 13,000 in all. Properties are expressed in both U.S. customary and metric units and a thorough index eases finding details on each and every material. This encyclopedia of materials is intended for executives, managers, supervisors, engineers, and technicians, in engineering, manufacturing, marketing, purchasing and sales as well as educators and students.

Presents research in the study of manufacturing engineering, including the theory and practice of virtual manufacturing; adapting local economies to market changes; conveyor systems balancing; optimisation of manufacturing conditions of brake friction materials; the impact of sanctions on the buyer-supplier relationship; and, more.

The ultimate materials engineering resource for anyone developing skills and understanding of materials properties and selection for engineering applications. The book is a visually lead approach to understanding core materials properties and how these apply to selection and design. Linked with Granta Design's market-leading materials selection software which is used by organisations as diverse as Rolls-Royce, GE-Aviation, Honeywell, NASA and Los Alamos National Labs. * A complete introduction to the science and selection of materials in engineering, manufacturing, processing and product design * Links to materials selection software used widely by brand-name corporations, which shows how to optimise materials choice for products by performance, characteristics or cost

Provides single-source coverage on the full range of activities that meet the manufacturing engineering process, including management, product and process design, tooling, equipment selection, faciltiy planning and layout, plant contruction, materials handling and storage, method analysis, time standards, and production control. The text examines every topic involved with product and factory development, parts fabrication, and assembly processes.

The field of production and operations management has grown rapidly and consequently its boundaries have been stretched in all directions. This encyclopedia aims to serve as a fundamental reference work.
