This book reports on innovative materials research with a special emphasis on methods, modeling, and simulation tools for analyzing material behavior, emerging materials, and composites, and their applications in the field of manufacturing. Chapters are based on contributions to the third International Conference on Advanced Materials Mechanics and Manufacturing, A3M2021, organized by the Laboratory of Mechanics, Modeling, and Manufacturing (LA2MP) of the National School of Engineers of Sfax, Tunisia and held online on March 25-27, 2021. They cover a variety of topics, spanning from experimental analysis of material plasticity and fatigue, numerical simulation of material behavior, and optimization of manufacturing processes, such as cutting and injection, among others. Offering a good balance of fundamental research and industrially relevant findings, they provide researchers and professionals with a timely snapshot of and extensive information on current developments in the field and a source of inspiration for future research and collaboration.

This book presents select peer-reviewed proceedings of the International Conference on Advances in Mechanical Engineering (ICAME 2020). The contents cover latest research in several areas such as advanced energy sources, automation, mechatronics and robotics, automobiles, biomedical engineering, CAD/CAM, CFD, advanced engineering materials, mechanical design, heat and mass transfer, manufacturing and production processes, tribology and wear, surface engineering, ergonomics and human factors, artificial intelligence, and supply chain management. The book brings together advancements happening in the different domains of mechanical engineering, and hence, this will be useful for students and researchers working in mechanical engineering.

Production, new materials development, and mechanics are the central subjects of modern industry and advanced science. With a very broad reach across several different disciplines, selecting the most forward-thinking research to review can be a hefty task, especially for study in niche applications that receive little coverage. For those subjects, collecting the research available is of utmost importance. The Handbook of Research on Advancements in Manufacturing, Materials, and Mechanical Engineering is an essential reference source that examines emerging obstacles in these fields of engineering and the methods and tools used to find solutions. Featuring coverage of a broad range of topics including fabricating procedures, automated control, and material selection, this book is ideally designed for academics; tribology and materials researchers; mechanical, physics, and materials engineers; professionals in related industries; scientists; and students.

International Conference on Recent Advances in Materials and Manufacturing Technologies (ICRAMMT 2018) Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2nd International Conference on Recent Advances in Materials and Manufacturing Technologies (ICRAMMT-2018), November 19-20, 2018, Hyderabad, India

This book gathers outstanding papers presented at the International Conference on Advances in Materials and Manufacturing Engineering (ICAMME 2019), held at KIIT Deemed to be University, Bhubaneswar, India, from 15 to 17 March 2019. It covers theoretical and empirical developments in various areas of mechanical engineering, including manufacturing, production, machine design, fluid/thermal engineering, and materials.

This book reports on cutting-edge research in the broad fields of mechanical engineering and mechanics. It describes innovative applications and research findings in applied and fluid mechanics, design and manufacturing, thermal science and materials. A number of industrially relevant recent advances are also highlighted. All papers were carefully selected from contributions presented at the International Conference on Advances in Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics, ICAMEM2019, held on December 16–18, 2019, in Hammamet, Tunisia, and organized by the Laboratory of Electromechanical Systems (LASEM) at the National School of Engineers of Sfax (ENIS) and the Tunisian Scientific Society (TSS), in collaboration with a number of higher education and research institutions in and outside Tunisia.

This book reports on recent findings and applications relating to structure modeling and computation, design methodology, advanced manufacturing, mechanical behavior of materials, fluid mechanics, energy, and heat transfer. Further, it highlights cutting-edge issues in biomechanics and mechanobiology, and describes simulation and intelligent techniques applied to the control of industrial processes. Chapters are based on a selection of original peer-reviewed papers presented at the 5th International Tunisian Congress on Mechanics, COTUME, which was held on March 22–24, 2021, from Hammamet, Tunisia, in hybrid format. All in all, the book offers a good balance of fundamental research and industrially relevant applications, and an in-depth analysis of the current state of the art and challenges in various subfields of mechanical engineering; it provides researchers and professionals with a timely snapshot and a source of inspiration for future research and collaborations.

Though the developments in the field of electronics and digital industries are significant, the importance of the basic mechanical industry remains always on the top side. The purpose of this book is to present some advanced research studies on mechanical design, materials and manufacturing. The first chapter presents an analysis of a novel force transducer which has a special shape that allows strategic placement of the strain gauges and senses axial forces by ignoring the moments. The second chapter explains the basic principle of calculation and analysis of the defective structure of solids. The third most interesting chapter presents advanced methods used in molecular dynamics simulation of macromolecules. Chapter Four explores an extended method of mathematical modelling of Freudenstein-Chebyshev approximation theory for sigmoidal function applied to four and five precision points. Chapter Five presents an algorithm to find the transfer vertex of a given epicyclic gear train. In the sixth chapter, an analytical study (using ABAQUS/CAE) on the strengthening of the beam-column joint under seismic conditions using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets has been carried out. Chapter Seven discusses preparation, properties and applications of nanomterials, ceramics and bioceramics. Chapter Eight discusses the fluorescence of atomic hydrogen in aqueous media. Chapter Nine presents a methodology to design, develop and simulate a twin spindle turning special purpose machine based on the data collected from hydraulic, pneumatic, and electro pneumatic data which will serve as low cost automation. The last chapter is about the estimation of axial force in incremental sheet metal forming.
