This 5th Edition, is designed for a first course or two-course sequence in Manufacturing at the junior level in Mechanical, Industrial, and Manufacturing Engineering curricula. Given its coverage of engineering materials, it is also be suitable for Materials Science and Engineering courses that emphasize Materials Processing. In addition, it may be appropriate for technology programs related to the preceding engineering disciplines. Most of the book’s content focuses on Manufacturing Processes (about 65% of the text), but it also covers Engineering Materials and Production Systems.
Key Features
- Provides a treatment of manufacturing that is both modern and quantitative.
- Delivers balanced coverage of the basic engineering materials (metals, ceramics, polymers, and composite materials).
- Coverage of recently developed manufacturing processes are continually added, keeping pace with the changes in the manufacturing industry.
- Contains comprehensive coverage of electronics manufacturing technologies, acknowledging the substantial increase in commercial importance of electronics products and their associated industries.
- Emphasizes the science of manufacturing.
- Incorporates greater use of mathematical models and quantitative problems than other manufacturing textbooks.
New to this edition - New and Updated Content:
- The chapter on rapid prototyping has been extensively revised, with a new section on cycle time and cost analysis.
- The chapter on integrated circuit processing has been updated including expanded coverage of Rent’s Rule and how to apply it to several different types of integrated circuits.
- The chapter on electronics packaging has been reorganized, with more emphasis on surface mount technology.
- A new section on the classification of nanotechnology products has been added to the chapter on nanofabrication.
- New example problems added: New example problems on topics such as manufacturing economics, tensile testing, machining time, rapid prototyping costs, and integrated circuit processing.
- More than 60% of the end-of-chapter problems are new or revised, and the total number of end-of-chapter problems has been increased.
