Manufacturing Processes for Engineering Materials
Fifth Edition
Serope Kalpakjian and Steven R. Schmid
This new edition of Manufacturing Processes for Engineering Materials continues its tradition of balanced and comprehensive coverage of relevant engineering fundamentals, mathematical analysis, and traditional as well as advanced applications of manufacturing processes and operations. Updated and thoroughly edited for improved readability and clarity, this book is written mainly for students in mechanical, industrial, and metallurgical and materials engineering programs. The text continually emphasizes the important interactions among a wide variety of technical disciplines and the economics of manufacturing operations in an increasingly competitive global marketplace.
New and expanded topics in this edition include:
§ Communications networks
§ Design considerations in manufacturing
§ Holonic manufacturing systems
§ Incremental forming
§ Life-cycle engineering and sustainable manufacturing
§ Mechanics of polymer processing
§ Micromachining
