Processing And Fabrication Of Advanced Materials V

This volume contains the technical papers presented at the international symposium entitled “Processing and Fabrication of Advanced Materials VIII”, held in Singapore in 1999. This was the eighth in a series of symposia bringing together engineers and researchers from industry, academia and national laboratories, working on aspects related to the processing, fabrication and characterization of advanced materials, to present and discuss their latest findings. The proceedings also contain technical papers presented at two special symposia on biomaterials and magnesium technology.

This is the proceedings of the fifth in a series of symposia bringing together engineers and researchers from industry, academia, and national laboratories working in areas related to the processing, fabrication, and characterization of advanced materials. The papers cover a broad spectrum of topics and include discussion of the potential viability and far-reaching applications of new and different processing techniques for advanced materials and potential areas for future research.

This book discusses advanced materials and manufacturing processes with insights and overviews on tribology, automation, mechanical, biomedical, and aerospace engineering, as well as the optimization of industrial applications. The book explores the different types of composite materials while reporting on the design considerations and applications of each. Offering an overview of futuristic research areas, the book examines various engineering optimization and multi-criteria decision-making techniques and introduces a specific control framework used in analyzing processes. The book includes problem analyses and solving skills and covers different types of composite materials, their design considerations, and applications. This book is an informational resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, scholars, and field professionals, providing an update on the current advancements in the field of manufacturing processes.

Papers presented at the Seventeenth International Symposium on Processing and Fabrication of Advanced Material XVII, held at New Delhi during 15-17 December 2008.
