      3D printing processes have promising advantages over conventional manufacturing processes from a functional ability viewpoint. In the past 30 years, a variety of additive manufacturing-based 3D printing processes have been reported for the fabrication of functional prototypes, using materials such as thermoplastic, resins, metal and their alloys. While there is a significant amount of information on various 3D printing processes, and materials that may be used in 3D printing-based manufacturing practices for engineering applications, there is far less information on 3D printable materials for structural and non-structural engineering applications. Engineering Materials for 3D Printing fills this gap. The book includes three sections and provides an insight on the development and characterization of polymer-based 3D printed materials by different processes such as extrusion, sol-gel, and pulverization along with meta-structure properties for various structural applications

Railway systems face limitations in automatic driving capabilities and decentralized control, relying heavily on manual adjustments and outdated communication infrastructure like GSM-R (limited to 9.6 kbit/s speeds and 400 ms delays). Network-Constrained Data-Driven Control of High-Speed Rail Systems introduces a transformative framework for data-driven adaptive control and multi-train cooperative control under dynamic network constraints. It integrates next-generation 5G-R communication to enable real-time train-to-train (T2T) coordination, reducing dependency on fixed infrastructure and addressing vulnerabilities like faded channels and interference. By combining rigorous theoretical analysis with simulations, the book proposes solutions to improve operational precision, resilience against disruptions, and transportation capacity. This resource is helpful for researchers, engineers, and graduate students in high speed railway control systems, offering innovative strategies to advance autonomous operations and meet the demands of high-density, high-speed rail networks
