[Iefac.list] Handbook of Manufacturing Processes- Vol. 1 & 2

[Kamrani, Ali K]

The proposed "Handbook of Manufacturing Processes" is intended to provide a comprehensive collection of theoretical discussions and practical approaches for design and manufacturing. The handbook will be published by John Wiley and Sons, Inc. Volume I includes theoretical topics and practical aspects as related to net and near-net shape processes such as casting, machining and polymers operations. Volume II includes theoretical topics and practical aspects as related to net shape fabrication processes, namely additive manufacturing (AM) and direct digital manufacturing (DDM) processes. Volume II also includes Geometric Dimensioning and Toleranceing (GD&T) and Design for Produceability as part of an integrated approach to design and manufacturing. Other related topic(s) will also be considered. The goal is to provide a practitioner's handbooks by documenting and presenting real-life case studies in support of discussed theoretical background for the following selected subjects:

Material structure, properties and applications

*         Nature of materials

*         Mechanical and physical properties

*         Property enhancing and heat treatment

*         Bio-material structural properties and applications
Traditional Processes: casting, polymer and machining operations

*         Casting Operations

*         Machining Operations

*         Polymers Operations
Direct Digital Manufacturing

*         Photo-polymerization Processes

*         Liquid-Based Processes

*         Extrusion-Based Processes

*         Powder-Based Processes

*         Lamination Processes

*         Laser-Based Processes
Practical Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing

*         Dimensional Analysis

*         Fits and Limit Analysis

*         Datum Analysis

*         Geometrical Tolerances

*         Surface Analysis

*         Inspection Planning
DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURING (DFM)

*         Design for Cost

*         Design for Casting

*         Design for Machining

*         Design for Plastic Injection Molding

*         Design for Additive Manufacturing

*         Process Planning
DESIGN FOR ASSEMBLY (DFA)

*         Assembly Operations and Analysis

*         Material handling systems

*         Design for Manual Assembly

*         Design for Robotics assembly

*         Design for High Speed Assembly

Deadlines for submission

*                    Abstract of proposed chapter(s) including the estimated number of pages for final manuscript: March 31, 2013 (feedback to author(s) within few weeks)

*                    Manuscript submission for the invited chapter(s): October 1, 2013

*                    Notification of recommendations: December 1, 2013

*                    Revised manuscript submission: March 1 2014
