Boundary Element Methods in Manufacturing

by Abhijit Chandra, Subrata Mukherjee

Overview

This book focuses on the analysis of manufacturing processes and the integration of this analysis into the design cycle. Uniquely, the boundary element method (BEM) is the computational model of choice. This versatile and powerful method has undergone extensive development during the past two decades and has been applied to virtually all areas of engineering mechanics as well as to other fields. Among topics covered are BEM infrastructure, design sensitivity analysis, and detailed discussions of a broad range of manufacturing processes including forming, solidification, machining, and ceramic grinding.

Editorial Reviews

"This work can be used as a reference book in a graduate course in boundary element methods applied to manufacturing. Boundary Element Methods in Manufacturing, which is written by experts in the field and is full of original current research, should be of immense interest to researchers, engineers, scientists, and graduate and postgraduate students who are interested in computational solid mechanics and heat transfer as applied to manufacturing."—Applied Mechanics Review
