Books in the Oxford Series on Advanced Manufacturing series

This text discusses the physics, chemistry and engineering aspects of metal cutting, an industrial operation for removing unnecessary metal in the production of mechanical parts. It also includes practical considerations designed to improve performance and increase productivity.

This book is the first to develop a systematic approach to modelling and design of assemblies, by addressing it on two levels; Assembly in the Small and Assembly in the Large.

Grinding is one of the most important operations employed in production engineering to remove unwanted material and to introduce desired geometry and surface properties. Once considered only a secondary finishing operation, grinding is now more widely employed. This work discusses the principles.

The application of computer-aided design and manufacturing techniques is becoming essential in modern metal-forming technology. This volume addresses recent advances in the technology, along with computer-aided design and engineering, and the finite element method.

This text is the first to take a practical, scientific approach to the subject of paste flow and extrusion, calling on the 25 years' experience of Benbow and Bridgwater. All types of equipment are considered and particular emphasis is given to paste characterization and die design.

Presents an integrated approach to the design and manufacturing of products made of advanced composites. This book is designed to teach students and practicing engineers how to streamline and improve the design process for parts and machines made out of composite materials by focusing on the behaviour of composites and their relationships.
