Description


Machining, as a reliable manufacturing process, still offers unmatched capabilities in producing high quality three-dimensional parts from metals, polymers, ceramics, wood and composites. Advances in computational modeling and optimization methods have enabled researchers to develop cost-effective and high-throughput modern machining processes.

This book aims to provide recent advances in intelligent machining for modern manufacturing engineering. It covers the basic fundamentals, modern machining processes, analytical and mechanistic modeling approaches, finite element modeling and systems-based modeling, as well as discussing recent optimization methods and case studies.

Useful for those studying engineering at both an undergraduate and postgraduate level, this book will also serve as a useful reference for academics, manufacturing and materials researchers, manufacturing and mechanical engineers, and professionals in machining and related industries.
