{ "item_title" : "Modern Manufacturing Processes and Engineering Materials", "item_author" : [" Reese Hollis "], "item_description" : "Turn manufacturing theory into defensible process decisionsA process can produce the right shape and still be wrong for the product. Material behavior, dimensional control, tooling, throughput, quality, automation, cost, safety, and environmental effects all influence whether a manufacturing route succeeds. Engineers need a way to connect those factors without losing the physics behind the decision. This calculation-centered textbook develops that connection from first principles. It begins with product realization, material structure and properties, metrology, tolerances, and surface integrity. It then builds practical analysis methods for solidification, gating, risering, casting, bulk deformation, sheet-metal forming, cutting mechanics, CNC planning, grinding, and nontraditional machining. Joining coverage spans fusion welding, weld metallurgy, solid-state processes, brazing, soldering, adhesives, and mechanical fastening.What you will learnScreen materials and processes using functional requirements, capability limits, volume, and cost.Calculate forces, power, energy, flow, heat input, cycle time, yield, and production capacity.Design casting systems, forming operations, machining plans, weld procedures, and multi-process routings.Evaluate additive builds, electronics assembly lines, automation cells, and digital manufacturing architectures.Apply metrology, uncertainty, control charts, capability indices, gauge studies, designed experiments, lean flow, economics, safety, maintenance, energy use, and circular manufacturing goals.Later chapters extend the same disciplined approach to powder metallurgy, polymers, ceramics, composites, additive manufacturing, printed-circuit-board assembly, quality engineering, robotics, production systems, lean methods, and sustainability. Across 18 chapters, 54 distinct worked examples show complete solution paths for process selection, equipment sizing, force and power estimation, cycle-time analysis, defect diagnosis, capability assessment, and economic comparison. Every chapter includes a step-by-step derivation, a topic-specific reference table, two labeled technical figures, and eight review problems with answers. The 144 problems support independent practice, classroom assignments, and technical refreshers.Who this text is forThe material is designed for undergraduate manufacturing, mechanical, industrial, materials, and production engineering students; early-career engineers and technologists; instructors seeking worked examples; and practitioners reviewing process fundamentals. Algebra and introductory mechanics are helpful. Each model defines its variables, units, and assumptions. Use the chapters to compare routes, expose assumptions, calculate operating requirements, and connect process choices to the full production system.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/819/138/9798191389264_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "150.99", "online_price" : "150.99", "our_price" : "150.99", "club_price" : "150.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
