Modern Materials and Manufacturing TechniquesEdition 1

The text provides the reader with an in-depth understanding of the need for next-generation materials and manufacturing, especially in terms of their designing process, manufacturing, upscaling, and finally their selection for industrial applications. It further discusses path-planning strategies for robot-based additive manufacturing.

Discusses synthesis, modelling, and analysis of green composites and functionally graded materials.

Explains hybrid manufacturing processes to address the challenges faced by the manufacturing industries.

Covers additive manufacturing of advanced materials for smart products.

Presents applications of lasers for sensing, characterization, and material processing.

Illustrates principles and applications of 4D printing and cold spray-based additive manufacturing.

The book focuses on sustainability in material and manufacturing processes. It covers important topics such as material recycling, optimal utilization of resources, green materials, improving surface inhomogeneity, stable material properties, and utilization of renewable energy sources. The text highlights the applications of deep learning for diagnosis and analysis in materials and manufacturing technologies. It is primarily written for senior undergraduate, graduate students, and academic researchers in the fields of manufacturing engineering, industrial and production engineering, materials science and engineering, and mechanical engineering.
