Selected papers from the 2011 International Conference on Advanced Design and Manufacturing Engineering (ADME 2011), 16-18 September, 2011, Guangzhou, China

This collection of peer-reviewed papers covers the subject areas of surface engineering/coatings, modeling, analysis and simulation of manufacturing processes, materials processing technology, mechanical behavior and fracture, computer-aided materials design, tooling testing and evaluation of materials, thermal engineering theory and applications, CAM/CAE, high-speed/precision machining and inspection technology, micro-machining technology, laser processing technology, bionic mechanisms and bio-manufacturing, digital manufacture and management, and other related topics. The work thus provides a thorough and up-to-date coverage of the topics. Review from Book News Inc.: Volume one of the three-volume set from the September 2011 conference presents recent investigations on surface engineering and coatings, materials processing, and modeling manufacturing processes. The Chinese researchers investigate the properties of Ni-SiC composite coatings, thermal fusion treated D2 steel, a cold sprayed copper coating, and a slurry for titanium casting. Volume two examines mechanical behavior and fracture, computer-aided design, tooling and testing of materials, and thermal engineering theory. The last volume reports new developments in precision machining, micro-machining technology, laser processing techniques, and digital manufacturing. Topics of the 500+ papers include deformation errors in spiral finish milling of thin-walled blades, monitoring tool wear in rotary ultrasonic machining of ceramics, real-time vibration control of steel strips immersed in fluid, a quality information system for electronic ballasts, and the decrease of harmful substances in reconstituted tobacco sheet.

The peer-reviewed papers making up this book cover the subject areas of: materials and their applications, mechatronics, industrial robotics and automation, machine vision, sensor technology, micro-electronic technology, measure control technologies and intelligent systems, transmission and control of fluids, mechanical control and information processing technology, embedded systems, advanced forming manufacturing and equipment, NEMS/MEMS technology and equipment, micro-electronic packaging technology and equipment, advanced nanocomposite techniques and equipment, power and fluid machinery, energy machinery and equipment, construction machinery and equipment and other related topics. The work constitutes an invaluable guide to the subjects covered.

Four papers from the Zhengzhou University of Light Industry analyze the movement of a multi-legged walking robot with hand-foot integration. Other topics of the 480 papers include green synthesis of silver nanoparticles, a new aluminum anode for deepwater cathodic protection, inspection of fruit surface defects by computer vision, hydraulic dynamic equilibrium in household heating systems, and preparation of crayfish flavoring by fermentation.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 25th International Conference on Parallel Computational Fluid Dynamics, ParCFD 2013, held in Changsha, China, in May 2013. The 35 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from more than 240 submissions. The papers address issues such as parallel algorithms, developments in software tools and environments, unstructured adaptive mesh applications, industrial applications, atmospheric and oceanic global simulation, interdisciplinary applications and evaluation of computer architectures and software environments.
