  • Advanced Computer-Aided Fixture Designby Yiming (Kevin) Rong; Samuel Huang

    Elsevier 2005; US$ 117.00

    Fixtures--the component or assembly that holds a part undergoing machining--must be designed to fit the shape of that part and the type of machining being done. This book discusses the fundamentals of Computer-Aided Fixture Design (CAFD) techniques and covers fixture planning, fixture design (both modular and dedicated fixtures), fixture design verifications, and the overall integration with CAD/CAM. The book shows how CAFD may lead to a significant reduction of product and process development time and production cost, and how CAFD can increase quality assurance through simulation and science-based technical specification and cost estimation in business quoting, especially in current supplier-based manufacturing. It also provides case study... more...

  • Engineering Structuresby Adnan Ibrahimbegovic; Bostjan Brank

    Emerald Group Publishing Limited 2005; US$ 199.00

    This e-book contains extended versions of the papers first presented by several invited speakers at the NATO-sponsored advanced research workshop on ?Multi-physics and multi-scale computer models in non-linear analysis and optimal design of engineering structures under extreme conditions?, which was held in Bled, Slovenia, from June 13 to 17, 2004. It also features a couple of papers contributed by young researchers, who all made short presentations of their research works at that meeting. The collected papers seek to present the most recent research achievements on this currently very active research topic and include contributions on nonlinear structural analysis, on optimal design of structures and microstructures, as well as on the structural... more...

  • Large-scale 3D Data Integrationby Sisi Zlatanova

    CRC Press 2005; US$ 139.95

    The use of large-scale three-dimensional computer models developed in the contexts of systems for architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) and geographic information systems (GIS), which now leads to the issues of how best to integrate data, allowing for the interoperability of data developed in the different modeling systems. This issue a more...
