Manufacturing Science and Technology, AEMT2011

This work covers the subject areas of materials properties, metal casting processes and equipment, forming and shaping processes and equipment, material removal processes and machines, joining processes and equipment, surface technology, common aspects of manufacturing, manufacturing in a competitive environment and other related topics. This book is sure to give readers new insights into the topics covered.This three-volume set offers peer-reviewed papers from a July 2011 conference. Major areas explored are materials properties and processes and equipment for casting, forming, joining, and removal of material. Other themes are surface technology, common aspects of manufacturing, and manufacturing in a competitive environment. Some specific chapter topics include OH-related infrared absorption spectra in silicate glasses, a new photochromic diarylethene for optical storage, and the welding thermo cycle and HAZ softening of a CT80 butt weld joint. Other subjects are supersonic missile control with the PI sliding mode method, recycling of fiber-metal laminates, broadband tunable infrared sources and their harmonic generation, and the influence of damping on automobile brake groan. Recycling of silicon kerf and numerical simulation of hydraulic excitation are further topics considered. The book is illustrated with b&w images.
