In the automotive industry, the need to reduce vehicle weight has given rise to extensive research efforts to develop aluminum and magnesium alloys for structural car body parts. In aerospace, the move toward composite airframe structures urged an increased use of formable titanium alloys. In steel research, there are ongoing efforts to design novel damage-controlled forming processes for a new generation of efficient and reliable lightweight steel components. All these materials, and more, constitute today’s research mission for lightweight structures. They provide a fertile materials science research field aiming to achieve a better understanding of the interplay between industrial proce...
This book is on various advanced, simple, and novel techniques being used and developed in the area of manufacturing processes. Manufacturing sector is one of the important areas which help to improve the economy of our nation. It not only generates employment opportunities but also makes us self-reliant (aatma nirbhar). In line with this important agenda of Government of India, this track envisages high-quality research contributions in the field of low-cost manufacturing technologies. It comprises the research and development studies on the various factors that influence the cost of manufacturing of product or system. The factors are materials, manufacturing processes, material handling processes, skilled manpower, quality control technologies, effective communication, and use of artificial intelligence techniques. The papers are on both numerical and experimental research works related to these aspects.
This volume features 24 carefully selected papers from the ninth International and 30th All India Manufacturing Technology, Design, and Research (AIMTDR) Conference, held during December 8–10, 2023, at the Indian Institute of Technology (BHU). The contributions included in this collection reflect the current focus areas and pressing challenges faced by manufacturing engineers and researchers. A significant number of these papers explore aspects of surface engineering, delving into both innovative processing techniques and the resultant quality of finished products. The book also features latest research on metal forming technologies, such as incremental sheet forming, showcasing advancements pushing manufacturing capabilities' boundaries. Additionally, it includes papers that underscore the growing importance of modeling and simulation, employing numerical methods like the Finite Element Method (FEM) to enhance efficiency and accuracy in design and production. The book can be a valuable reference for researchers and professionals interested in material processing techniques.
This book presents some developments in the field of welding technology. It starts with classical welding concepts, covering then new approaches. Topics such as ultrasonic welding, robots welding, welding defects and welding quality control are presented in a clear, didactic way. Lower temperature metal-joining techniques such as brazing and soldering are highlighted as well.
This volume comprises select proceedings of the 7th International and 28th All India Manufacturing Technology, Design and Research conference 2018 (AIMTDR 2018).

Expert systems represent a branch of artificial intelligence aiming to take the experience of human specialists and transfer it to a computer system. The knowledge is stored in the computer, which by an execution system (inference engine) is reasoning and derives specific conclusions for the problem. The purpose of expert systems is to help and support user’s reasoning but not by replacing human judgement. In fact, expert systems offer to the inexperienced user a solution when human experts are not available. This book has 18 chapters and explains that the expert systems are products of artificial intelligence, branch of computer science that seeks to develop intelligent programs. What is remarkable for expert systems is the applicability area and solving of different issues in many fields of architecture, archeology, commerce, trade, education, medicine to engineering systems, production of goods and control/diagnosis problems in many industrial branches.
Selected papers from the 2009 International Conference on Manufacturing Science and Engineering (ICMSE 2009), 26-28 December, 2009, Zhuhai, China
