Manufacturing: Mathematical Models, Problems, and Solutions

This book is written for readers who are either practicing engineers in industry or engineering-degree students taking a course in manufacturing technology. The book is divided into three parts which includes problems and solutions in basic manufacturing processes, problems and solutions in non-traditional and computer aided manufacturing, and problems and solutions in quality assurance and economics of manufacturing. With 250 solved manufacturing and design problems and over 70 illustrations, this book provides detailed information on mathematical modeling for many different manufacturing processes.
