The book series on manufacturing processes for engineers by Klocke is a reference for experts. This volume on Grinding, Honing and Lapping starts from the basics of cutting edge engagement during grinding. Practical insights into polishing are also provided.

This is the first focused and detailed textbook on acoustic virtual reality. Auralization is the creation of audible acoustic sceneries from computer-generated data. This book is organized as a comprehensive collection of basics, methodology and strategies of acoustic simulation and auralization.

Using lasers requires first figuring out which laser is needed based on very complex parameters then selecting a laser on the basis of commercial availability. The complexity of the issue requires two volumes, and this is the first on lasers and applications.

This book presents OntoCAPE, a formal domain ontology for chemical process engineering based on a general upper ontology for engineering. It depicts the organization and structure of the ontology, and describes the conceptualizations of various topic areas.

Volume 1 of the Manufacturing Processes series addresses the basics of machining with geometrically defined cutting edges. Covers loads and stress-appropriate design of machining tools, and sensible application of cutting materials.

New ideas for new products will not guarantee new markets. This book is an innovation roadmap for the planning and release of new products, covering new methods for creativity, market analysis, evaluation, technology forecast and decision making.

Updated and revised in its new edition, this book provides essential information on bulk and sheet metal forming including cold, warm and hot bulk forming and thixoforming, deep drawing, flange forming, stretch drawing, internal high-pressure forming and more.

Serious problems and risks can be observed in European freight transportation development. Within the scope of this research, seven case studies of European freight transport innovations have been conducted using this method.

Introduction to Microsystem Design describes both the design of micro systems and the equations needed to estimate basic elements. The text can be referenced quickly via equation tables, which are found in an index at the end of the book.

The present book covers the application technology of lasers, focusing more on the vast range of processes than on individual applications, in order to motivate and enable future innovations.

The book describes the design of micro systems systematically as well as the equations needed for an estimation of the basic elements. It can be used without knowing fabrication processes of micro systems and provides the basic equations needed to calculate the effects and forces which are important in micro systems. For quick reference equations are presented in tables which are found in an index at the end of this book.
