This book provides essential information on environmentally benign/sustainable machining processes including innovations and developments in conventional machining, considering economy, safety, and productivity. Developments in machine tools, recent research on green lubricants and lubrication techniques, process hybridization, and the role of optimization techniques are discussed. Green machining of difficult-to-machine materials and composites is also explained with attempts towards making electric discharge and electrochemical machining technologies. Features: Covers up to date and latest information on environmentally benign machining technologies. Includes current approaches regarding t...
This book focus on the product design process. It follows a holistic approach covering conceptual design, design methodologies, sustainability, manufacturing, product analysis, materials, design and manufacturing technologies. The reader can find interesting cases about industrial design, 3D printing and 4D printing for wearables. The axiomatic design methodology is presented together with applications in machine learning and knowledge-based systems. Research about personalized fashion and professional uniform evaluations methods are included. Finally, the digital transformation, aesthetic design and the use of materials in orthopedic design is present.
Design Engineering and Science teaches the theory and practice of axiomatic design (AD). It explains the basics of how to conceive and deliver solutions to a variety of design problems. The text shows how a logical framework and scientific basis for design can generate creative solutions in many fields, including engineering, materials, organizations, and a variety of large systems. Learning to apply the systematic methods advocated by AD, a student can construct designs that lead to better environmental sustainability and to increased quality of life for the end-user at the same time reducing the overall cost of the product development process. Examples of previous innovations that take adv...
Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 19th Innovative Manufacturing Engineering 2015 (IManE 2015), May 21-22, 2015, Iaşi, România
This book is focused on recent advances in the development of thin films for photovoltaic applications, TiO2/WO3 bi-layers for applications with enhanced photo-catalytic properties, nanometer oxide and hydroxide films for anticorrosive coatings, surface passivation in chemical industries, micro- and nanoelectronics, trilayers of metglas and lead free piezoelectrics for magnetic field sensors, current sensors, spintronics, microwave and read/write devices. Diluted ferromagnetic alloy films are also considered for superconducting spintronics based on superconducting spin-valves. Thermal properties of segmented nanowires are analyzed with respect to thermoelectric applications. Recent advances in template production of nanocomposites are also reviewed with particular focus on technologies for template assisted formation of metal nanotubes. Some elements related to abrasive flow machining (AFM), specifically state of the art elements of technological systems and construction of equipment are presented. The book is written for researchers in materials science, nanotechnologies, PhD students and graduate student.
CAD/CAM/CAE technologies find more and more applications in today’s industries, e.g., in the automotive, aerospace, and naval sectors. These technologies increase the productivity of engineers and researchers to a great extent, while at the same time allowing their research activities to achieve higher levels of performance. A number of difficult-to-perform design and manufacturing processes can be simulated using more methodologies available, i.e., experimental work combined with statistical tools (regression analysis, analysis of variance, Taguchi methodology, deep learning), finite element analysis applied early enough at the design cycle, CAD-based tools for design optimizations, CAM-based tools for machining optimizations.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Higher Education Learning Methodologies and Technologies Online, HELMeTO 2022, held in Palermo, Italy, in September 2022. The 59 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 126 submissions. The papers present recent research on challenges of implementing emerging technology solution for online, online learning pedagogical frameworks, online learning technologies in practice, online learning strategies and resources, etc.
This book of carefully selected research papers captures the essence of systems engineering. It offers readers a comprehensive exploration in the most recent applications and advancements of Axiomatic Design, a powerful method that elevates the level of product design and manufacturing. Although Axiomatic Design originated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston, it has been further developed by an active community of users and academics from all over the world. For the 15th time, the International Conference on Axiomatic Design convened global experts to discuss the core of the methodology. Their shared objective was to advance systems engineering, catering to the incre...
