Proceedings of Precision Engineering and Nanotechnology

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).The present volumes contain selected papers on the fields of precision engineering - including precision/ultra-precision machining, non-traditional machining, manufacturing systems and machine tools, nano and micro metrology and surface characterization, MEMS/NEMS, advanced moulding and forming, high-precision mechatronics and other technologies which are associated with micro/nano manufacturing. The work provides up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of the progress being made world wide.The conferences are held by a consortium of academic societies in East Asia to promote collaboration among scientists in the region. The 114 papers from the 2011 sitting look at such areas as precision and ultra-precision machining, non-traditional machining, manufacturing systems and machine tools, nanometer and micrometer metrology and surface characterization, electro-mechanical systems, advanced moulding and forming, high precision mechatronics, and other technologies association with micrometer and nanometer manufacturing. The topics include fabricating fine mesh filter screens with a pulsed laser, robust production scheduling using autonomous distributed systems, analyzing the stress on cannonballs during collision with the sea surface, developing a focusing system for X-ray free-electron lasers, binocular robot vision with an active viewpoint for measuring spheres, a novel process for fabricating large area triangular nanocavity arrays by bilayer nanosphere lithography, the micropolishing of tungsten carbide using a magnetostrictive vibrating polisher, and the nonlinear dynamics of tool vibration in micro-cutting.
