Contributors: Webster's Timeline History, 1991 Feature

Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Contributors," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Contributors in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Contributors when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Contributors, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain.

Integrated Design and Manufacturing in Mechanical Engineering

Integrated Design and Manufacturing in Mechanical Engineering Review

See more picture

Integrated Design and Manufacturing in Mechanical Engineering Feature

This book is devoted to the optimization of product design and manufacturing. It contains selected and carefully composed articles based on presentations given at the IDMME conference held in Montreal, Canada, May 2000. The Authors are all involved in cutting-edge research in their respective fields of specialization.

The integration of manufacturing constraints and their optimization in the design process is becoming more and more widespread in the development of mechanical products or systems. There is a clear industrial need for these kinds of methodologies. Important - but still unsolved - problems are related to the definition of design processes, the choice of optimal manufacturing processes and their integration through coherent methodologies in adapted environments.

The main topics addressed in this book are:
*design theory: process and modeling,
*control, measurement and tolerancing,
*manufacturing: modeling and planning,
*optimal design of machines, structures and components.

The book provides original information from authors who are involved in very recent research in the field. Beyond the theoretical background, the main focus is the relation of the research to industrial applications for most of the articles.
The book is dedicated to engineers, researchers and PhD students who are involved in the domain of the optimisation of the design and the manufacturing processes.
