      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

      Mechanics of Materials: An Introduction to the Mechanics of Elastic and Plastic Deformation of Solids and Structural Materials, 4th Edition covers the behaviors of materials and structures under various loads, the ways in which they react to applied forces, the resulting deflections, and the stresses and strains that need to be considered when designing a mechanical component. It begins with an introduction to the concepts of stress, strain, shear force, and bending moments, then progresses to an examination of bending, shear, and torsion in elements such as beams, cylinders, shells, and springs. A simple treatment of complex stress and strain leads to a study of the theories of elastic failure and an introduction to the experimental methods of stress and strain analysis. Building on those fundamentals, the book then extends the scope of the materials covered into more complex areas such as unsymmetrical bending, loading and deflection of struts, rings, discs, cylinder plates, diaphragms, and thin walled sections. The finite element method, and more advanced topics such as contact and residual stresses, stress concentrations, fatigue, and creep and fracture are also covered. Each chapter contains a summary of the essential formulae developed in the chapter, as well as a large number of worked examples which progress in level of difficulty. Additionally, each chapter concludes with an extensive selection of problems for solving by the reader.

      Manufacturing: Design, Science and Engineering of How Things are Made, Second Edition, presents a fresh view on the world of industrial production: thinking in terms of both abstraction levels and trade-offs. The book invites its readers to distinguish between what is possible in principle for a certain process (as determined by physical law); what is possible in practice (the production method as determined by industrial state-of-the-art); and what is possible for a certain supplier (as determined by its production equipment). Specific processes considered here include metal forging, extrusion, and casting; plastic injection molding and thermoforming; additive manufacturing; joining; recycling; and more. By tackling the field of manufacturing processes from this new angle, this book makes the most out of a reader's limited time. It gives the knowledge needed to not only create well-producible designs, but also to understand supplier needs in order to find the optimal compromise. Apart from improving design for production, this publication raises the standards of thinking about producibility.
