| Abstract |
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).The present volume comprises peer-reviewed papers covering CIMS and manufacturing systems, advanced anti-fatigue design technologies, finite-element analysis and structure optimization based upon anti-fatigue, design and manufacturing of composite components, intelligent mechatronics and robotics, compound machine tools, rapid prototyping, printing (ex. embossing), PDM, ERP, CRM, FMS, PLM, logistics and supply chain, RPM and other related topics. This work will be invaluable to production and research engineers, and to research students and academics interested in the field. This special volume contains 66 invited papers by engineers mainly from China who detail recent research on theories, technologies, methods, equipment, and other aspects of anti-fatigue design and manufacturing technologies. Coverage encompasses material properties and manufacturing technologies, such as advances in high-speed milling of metal matrix composites, computer simulation, evaluation of adhesion strength, analysis of structural parameters, heat transfer analysis, wear studies, and processing and characterization of materials; anti-fatigue design technologies and materials, including their effects, fabrication, manufacturing process and models, simulation, dynamic behavior, and tool wear behavior and monitoring; and other topics, such as lean assembly, the status and trends of fixed abrasive polishing on semiconductors, and the application of a fuzzy economic order quantity (EOQ) model to the stock management in the manufacturing system. |
