Mechatronic Systems and Materials
Materials Production Technologies
Eds. Andrejus H. Marcinkevičius and Algirdas V.Valiulis
Solid State Phenomena Vol. 165
Mechatronics can be defined as being the synergistic integration of
mechanical engineering with electronics and intelligent computer
control in the manufacture of products and design of processes.
Advanced engineering materials and related technologies
increasingly rely upon multifunctional materials, materials resistant
to extreme conditions and hybrid and multi-materials. The goal of this
collection is to disseminate news of recent progress made in the area
of mechatronic systems and materials production technologies, to
discuss future development in mechatronics and materials science,
to analyse issues related to engineering education in these fields
and to bring together experts from various countries and institutions
in order to exchange state-of-the-art know-how and research data.
The result is an exciting overview of the field and will of interest to
all of those using, or planning to use, mechatronics.

Modelling of Machining Operations
Ed. J.C. Outeiro

The modelling of Machining Operations has become very
widespread today, with many researchers developing models with
which to predict metal-cutting performance. The aim here is to
provide an answer to the challenges presented by the machining
industry, which is presently facing very tight economical and
environmental constraints. The collection of over 100 peer-reviewed
papers covers twelve research topics, including: “Analytical and
Numerical Modelling”; “Cutting Fundamentals: Input Parameters”;
“Cutting Fundamentals: Experimental Validation”; “Surface Integrity”;
“Surface Topography”; “Tool Wear and Tool Life”; “Dynamics and
Stability”; “High-Speed Machining and 5-Axes Machining”; “Abrasive
Machining”; “Ultra-Precision and Micromachining”; “Computer-
Aided Manufacturing (CAM)”; “Experimental: Non-Conventional
Machining”. This work will thus constitute an invaluable handbook
on the subject.
