Publisher's Synopsis
In order to sustain the global competition, industries are constrained to develop their own strategies and technologies in the area of materials and their processing, newer and smarter manufacturing methods with quality built in the processes. This global competition is making all industries establish their own R & D centers to identify newer materials, design and analysis strategies, manufacturing methods, strategies in producing lightweight, high speed and cost effective products.In this context, this book presents recent developments in the area of Newer Materials and Processing Techniques, Composite and Nano Materials, Machining and Machinablity, Manufacturing Systems, Structural Analysis, Finite Element Analyses and Computational Fluid Dynamics, Product Design, Condition Monitoring, Bio-fuel, Green Building concepts, Thermal & Environmental Engineering aspects and Engineering Optimization.The depth and scope of the chapters in this book will provide useful solutions to a considerable number of problems faced by industries and will be a good reference source for researchers and industry personnel.
