Digital Design and Manufacturing Technology III

China has become the manufacturing center of the world. Advanced digital design and manufacturing technology can improve productivity and reduce the costs of product development. It has become the most important techniques to enhance ones competitiveness to win advantage in the market. At the same time, it has a huge potential for development and improvement.Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).This volume contains 34 selected peer reviewed papers from 2012 National Conference on Digital Design and Manufacturing Technology (2012 DDMTC) which was held during November 12-14,2012,in Ningbo, P.R. China.The 34 selected papers explore developments in the field and present theirresearch findings. The topics include recent research on magnesium alloymelting technology, abrasive flow machining for the outer rotor of acycloidal pump, the dynamic analysis of the leveling mechanism of a newgoose-neck jib gondola, simulation research on the climbing ability of ashovel loader with four tracks, and a piezoelectric energy harvester forwireless sensors.
