Focusing on the design for assembly (DFA) method, this book explores how companies can achieve competitive designs while minimizing costs. It emphasizes the integration of automatic assembly within DFA, detailing both automated and manual processes. The author outlines various components and systems, including transfer devices, parts feeders, and robots, while discussing their performance and economic implications. This resource serves as an essential guide for engineers in manufacturing, product design, mechanical, and industrial fields.
<p>In the more than 15 years since the second edition of Fundamentals of Machining and Machine Tools was published, the industry has seen many changes. Students must keep up with developments in analytical modeling of machining processes, modern cutting tool materials, and how these changes affect the economics of machining. With coverage reflecting state-of-the-art industry practice, Fundamentals of Machining and Machine Tools, Third Edition emphasizes underlying concepts, analytical methods, and economic considerations, requiring only basic mathematics and physics.</p><p>This book thoroughly illustrates the causes of various phenomena and their effects on machining practice. The authors include several descriptions of modern analytical methods, outlining the strengths and weaknesses of the various modeling approaches.</p><p>What's New in the Third Edition? • *Recent advances in super-hard cutting tool materials, tool geometries, and surface coatings • *Advances in high-speed machining and hard machining • *New trends in cutting fluid applications, including dry and minimum-quantity lubrication machining • *New developments in tool geometries for chip breaking and chip control • *Improvements in cost modeling of machining processes, including application to grinding processes</p><p>Supplying abundant examples, illustrations, and homework problems, Fundamentals of Machining and Machine Tools, Third Edition is an ideal textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students studying metal cutting, machining, machine tool technology, machining applications, and manufacturing processes.</p>
Based on three decades of experience in the physics of golf, Dewhurst examines
topics such as the interaction between club face and ball, various aspects of
trajectory and impact, and the physics of putting.
In Easy Money, Geoffrey Field pens a twisting and highly detailed tale of drug-running and crime. Greed, violence, deceit, betrayal, and revenge. It's all packed in this story of criminal fiction. From the multiple perspectives of the English Bolton family, a young journalist, suspicious policemen, and shady government officials, we follow the interwoven paths and intentions that result from a South American drug lord's delivery of goods across country borders and over the seas. With impeccable imagery, fast-paced action, and accurately illustrated procedures, Field shows how a complicated international drug scheme can almost be pulled off successfully. Will a young couple move on past lies and danger? Will the fishing industry collapse and suffer even more after the drug raid? Can the criminals truly evade the law at every corner? Easy Money is a sure delight for all fans of criminal fiction.
