Synopsis

Reflecting the increasing importance of ceramics, polymers, composites, and silicon in manufacturing, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing Second Edition provides a comprehensive treatment of these other materials and their processing, without sacrificing its solid coverage of metals and metal processing. Topics include such modern processes as rapid prototyping, microfabrication, high speed machining and nanofabrication. Additional features include:

• Emphasis on how material properties relate to the process variables in a given process.
• Emphasis on manufacturing science and quantitative engineering analysis of manufacturing processes.
• More than 500 quantitative problems are included as end of chapter exercises.
• Multiple choice quizzes in all but one chapter (approximately 500 questions).
• Coverage of electronics manufacturing, one of the most commercially important areas in today′s technology oriented economy.
• Historical notes are included to introduce manufacturing from the earliest materials and processes, like woodworking, to the most recent.

About this title

About the Author:

Mikell P. Groover is Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Lehigh University, Where he also serves as Director of the George E. Kane Manufacturing Technology Laboratory and faculty member in the Manufacturing Systems Engineering Program. He received his B.A. in Arts and Science (1961), B.S. in Mechanical Engineering (1962), M.S. in Industrial Engineering (1966), and Ph.D. (1969), all from Lehigh. He is a Registered Professional Engineer in Pennsylvania. His industrial experience includes several years as a manufacturing engineer with Eastman Kodak Company. Since joining Lehigh, he has done consulting, research, and project work for a number of industrial companies. His teaching and research areas include manufacturing processes, production systems, automation, material handling, facilities planning, and work systems. He has received a number of teaching awards at Lehigh University, as well as the Albert  G. Holzman Outstanding Educator Award from the Institute of Industrial Engineers (1995) and the SME Education Award from the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (2001). His publications include over 75 technical articles and seven books (listed below). His books are used throughout the world and have been translated into French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. The first edition of the current book fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing received the IIE Joint Publishers Award (1996) and the M. Eugene Merchant Manufacturing Textbook Award from the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (1996). Dr. Groover is a member of the Institute of Industrial Engineers, American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME), the North American Manufacturing Research Institute (NAMRI), and ASM International. He is a Fellow of IIE (1987) and SME (1996).

From the Back Cover:

A modern, all–inclusive look at manufacturing In this modern, quantitative approach to manufacturing, Mikell Groover offers balanced coverage of the three basic engineering materials––metals, ceramics, polymers, as well as composites––along with recently developed manufacturing processes and electronics manufacturing technologies. Throughout Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing , the emphasis is on manufacturing science and quantitative analysis of manufacturing processes. This emphasis helps students understand the relationships among the material properties and the process variables in a given manufacturing process. Now updated and revised, this Third Edition of Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing features: New chapter on Nanofabrication Technologies, which describes the importance of nanotechnology and future commercial products that will be made possible by this technology. Updated chapter on Microfabrication Technologies with new material describing how compact discs are produced. More than 1700 end–of–chapter review questions, multiple–choice quiz questions, and quantitative analysis problems, including many new questions and problems in this edition.  See manufacturing processes in action with SME videos! This text is packaged with a DVD based on the Society of Manufacturing Engineers’ Fundamental Manufacturing Processes video series. The DVD contains brief video clips that promote visualization of key manufacturing processes. Chapters in the text include references to the videos, and several new end–of–chapter questions relate to the videos.
