Publisher's Synopsis
Discover the state-of-the-art in multiscale modeling and optimization in manufacturing from two leading voices in the field
Modeling and Optimization in Manufacturing delivers a comprehensive approach to various manufacturing processes and shows readers how multiscale modeling and optimization processes help improve upon them. The book elaborates on the foundations and applications of computational modeling and optimization processes, as well as recent developments in the field. It offers discussions of manufacturing processes, including forming, machining, casting, joining, coating, and additive manufacturing, and how computer simulations have influenced their development.
Examples for each category of manufacturing are provided in the text, and industrial applications are described for the reader. The distinguished authors also provide an insightful perspective on likely future trends and developments in manufacturing modeling and optimization, including the use of large materials databases and machine learning. Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of:
- A thorough introduction to the origins of manufacturing, the history of traditional and advanced manufacturing, and recent progress in manufacturing
- An exploration of advanced manufacturing and the environmental impact and significance of manufacturing
- Practical discussions of the economic importance of advanced manufacturing
- An examination of the sustainability of advanced manufacturing, and developing and future trends in manufacturing
Perfect for materials scientists, mechanical engineers, and process engineers, Modeling and Optimization in Manufacturing will also earn a place in the libraries of engineering scientists in industries seeking a one-stop reference on multiscale modeling and optimization in manufacturing.
