Book Description

This book brings updated knowledge on the metal cutting processes in relation to theory and industrial practice. In particular, many topics reflect recent developments, as for instance modern tool materials, computational machining, computer simulation of various process phenomena, chip control, monitoring of the cutting state, progressive and hybrid machining operations, and generation and modelling of surface integrity.

This book addresses present state and future development of machining technologies. It provides a comprehensive description of metal cutting theory, experimental and modelling techniques along with basic machining processes and their effective use in a wide range of manufacturing applications. Topics covered in the book include details of fundamental physical phenomena and possible methods for their evaluation, available technology of machining processes for specific classes of materials and surface integrity. The book also aims to provide strategies for optimalization techniques and assessment of machinability. Moreover, it describes topics not currently covered in other sources, such as high performance and multitasking (complete) machining with a high potential for increasing productivity, and virtual and e-machining.

The book is also based on the author and his research teams long-lasting experimental work on the machining process, especially with cutting tool coatings technology. During twenty years the author has been tracking the most valuable technical information from technical universities and industrial research centres, and collecting hundreds published books and papers in this and other closely related fields of science. Extensive information collected is compressed in the single volume to provide the knowledge on the state-of-the-art of machining and its role in creating more competitive market. The research work conducted in this book has contributed to a more generalized vision of machining technology, including not only traditional manufacturing tasks but also new potential (emerging) applications such as micro- and nanotechnology. The main reason for the author to write this book is to provide a comprehensive knowledge on, and a systematic approach to metal cutting, a complex however rapidly developing branch of manufacturing technology.

Book Description

Traditionally, new materials have been developed by empirically correlating their chemical composition, and the manufacturing processes used to form them, with their properties. Until recently, metallurgists have not used quantum theory for practical purposes. However, the development of modern density functional methods means that today, computational quantum mechanics can help engineers to identify and develop novel materials.

Computational Quantum Mechanics for Materials Engineers describes new approaches to the modelling of disordered alloys that combine the most efficient quantum-level theories of random alloys with the most sophisticated numerical techniques to establish a theoretical insight into the electronic structure of complex materials such as stainless steels, Hume-Rothery alloys and silicates. The practical success of these approaches to applications in all of these areas are covered in detail. The new EMTO-CPA method is detailed, including its application in alloys to model structural stability and elastic properties of random alloys of arbitrary composition and the effect of alloying elements on elastic stiffnesses stacking fault energies and structural parameters. The EMTO-CPA method makes new approaches to computational alloy design feasible. Computational Quantum Mechanics for Materials Engineers shows how the technique will soon allow materials engineers to become "quantum blacksmiths".

Computational Quantum Mechanics for Materials Engineers will interest researchers and postgraduate students in materials science and engineering, solid-state physics and applied quantum mechanics.

Book Description

Set in a future where the power of big corporations has reached unbelievable heights, this sardonic and humorous story traces the adventures of Asel Iacola, former head of the Christler-Coke corporation, who has been banished to a corporate prison after a hostile takeover. Undaunted, and with the help of fellow deposed corporate noble Sylvan Lee-McCree, Asel escapes with hopes of confronting his rival, Jackie-Cee of the Disney-Dow corporation. During his escape he learns to rely on himself as he is almost hung by the TechsMechs Rangers of Oklahomer, sold by the hustlers of Two-kum-curry to the Nones of Our Lady of Reluctant Desire, and befriended by a mechanical bear. Making his way across a nation ruled by big business, Asel is confronted by the country's forgotten poor, and discovers the enormous gulf between the haves and have-nots created by companies like Christler-Coke.

A Trip through Trash.......2007-03-14

Prince Asel loses his position in this future of corporations turned tiny states.

This novel takes some seeds of interesting ideas and then...I don't know what it does. It is plain awful.

What the.....?.......2005-07-26

The writing flows well enough, but that's just about the only good thing I can say about this ridiculous mess. I have no idea what Barrett was aiming at, but he certainly misses the mark with this book. What on earth is supposed to be the point of this?

We begin with the well-used meme of the overpriviledged scion of a wealthy family being brought down by his enemies and cast into poverty. Except it's not really poverty, just som sort of horribly idealized middle-class lifestyle where he must fend for himself and (gasp!) WORK instead of being waited on hand and foot. This is mildly amusing for a page or two, but once you realize that no explanations are forthcoming the fish-out-of-water stuff rapidly loses what little allure it ever had. Why is our protagonist here? Is this what the rest of the world is like? Is his world of wealthy indolence an aberration? Is his incredible ignorance curable by harsh experience? Don't expect any answers because there simply aren't any in this book.

Asel wanders through the book like the whining, hapless idiot that he is. He encounters other characters at various times, but they all seem to be bizarre exceptions to the rules, just as he is. In fact, there's no one who could be called normal ANYWHERE in the entire book! ARe we supposed to accept the waitress/whore-with-the-heart-of-gold character as normal? Who knows? At no point do we ever get a context in which to place our characters. This is our world, but what happened? Why are certain areas completely desolated? Why do the Asians flock here to buy crappy souvenirs? How does the economy work? The government? Who's responsible for anything? No one can tell you, because no one knows.

There's a prison break, a road trip, a number of captures and escapes and finally a dramatic climax in the sequoia forest of Northern California, but you won't care. The characters are thin to begin with and, despite being smacked in the face with their own ignorance repeatedly, never show any signs of change or development. After whining incessantly about how he needs to reclaim his former glory, Asel suddenly does a 180 and decides to live humbly in a mountain hut at the end of the book. Why? We're never told. We're given a hint of character growth when one of his companions swings by years later and tells him it's 'time' to bear arms again, but we never learn why, or against whom these arms are to be born. But at this point we simply want the book to end.

So what point is Barrett trying to make? The world is over-commercialized and headed for doom? People are stupid? Rich folks are pampered? None of this is new, original or even particularly interesting. So why read this book?

Good question.
