Advanced Design and Manufacture IV (PDF)

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).This special issue on Advanced Design and Manufacture is a prestigious collection of peer-reviewed original contributions reflecting the state-of-the-art emerging technologies, recent successes and major research challenges to be found in this subject area. The main topics covered include: Engineering/Product/Industrial Design, Manufacture and Production, Sustainable Technology, Eco-Design, Eco-Production, Renewable Energy, Materials Science and Engineering Materials, CAD/CAM/CAE, Computer Simulation, Web/Internet Technologies, Artificial Intelligence, Mechanical Transmission, Automation and Control, Engineer Management and Industrial Engineering. A comprehensive guide to the subject matter.The call for abstracts and papers garnered 300 responses, of which 75 were chosen for the volume. Scientists and engineers in materials and other fields consider such areas as manufacture and production, material science and engineering materials, mechanical transmission, automation and control, and engineering management and industrial engineering. The papers themselves consider such topics as mathematical model research on panel layout, free vibration in a thin shell structure of rectangular cross-section, the sustainable operation of a transport system in cities, a technology for detecting mature blueberries based on color information and neural networks, and supply-chain competition with information sharing.
