Since the publication of the first edition of Integrated Product and Process Design and Development: The Product Realization Process more than a decade ago, the product realization process has undergone a number of significant changes. Reflecting these advances, this second edition presents a thorough treatment of the modern tools used in the integrated product realization process and places the product realization process in its new context.
 See what’s new in the Second Edition:
 <ul>
 <li>Bio-inspired concept generation and TRIZ</li>
 <li>Computing manufacturing cost, costs of ownership, and life-cycle costs of products </li>
 <li>Engineered plastics, ceramics, composites, and smart materials</li>
 <li>Role of innovation</li>
 <li>New manufacturing methods: in-mold assembly and layered manufacturing</li>
 
</ul>
 This book discusses how to translate customer needs into product requirements and specifications. It then provides methods to determine a product’s total costs, including cost of ownership, and covers how to generate and evaluate product concepts. The authors examine methods for turning product concepts into actual products by considering development steps such as materials and manufacturing processes selection, assembly methods, environmental aspects, reliability, and aesthetics, to name a few. They also introduce the design of experiments and the six sigma philosophy as means of attaining quality.
 To be globally viable, corporations need to produce innovative, visually appealing, quality products within shorter development times. Filled with checklists, guidelines, strategies, and examples, this book provides proven methods for creating competitively priced quality products.

Advanced Engineering Mathematics with Mathematica® presents advanced analytical solution methods that are used to solve boundary-value problems in engineering and integrates these methods with Mathematica® procedures. It emphasizes the Sturm-Liouville system and the generation and application of orthogonal functions, which are used by the separation of variables method to solve partial differential equations. It introduces the relevant aspects of complex variables, matrices and determinants, Fourier series and transforms, solution techniques for ordinary differential equations, the Laplace transform, and procedures to make ordinary and partial differential equations used in engineering non-dimensional. To show the diverse applications of the material, numerous and widely varied solved boundary value problems are presented.

Featuring outstanding coverage of linear and non-linear single degree-of-freedom and multi-degree-of-freedom systems, this book teaches the use of vibration principles in a broad spectrum of applications. In this introduction for undergraduate students, authors Balakumar Balachandran and Edward B. Magrab present vibration principles in a general context and illustrate the use of these principles through carefully chosen examples from different disciplines. Their balanced approach integrates principles of linear and nonlinear vibrations with modeling, analysis, prediction, and measurement so that physical understanding of the vibratory phenomena and their relevance for engineering design can be emphasized. The authors also provide design guidelines that are applicable to a wide range of vibratory systems.

This new edition explains how vibrations can be used in a broad spectrum of applications and how to meet the challenges faced by engineers and system designers. The text integrates linear and nonlinear systems, and covers the time domain and the frequency domain, responses to harmonic and transient excitations, and discrete and continuous system models. It focuses on modeling, analysis, prediction, and measurement to provide a complete understanding of the underlying physical vibratory phenomena and their relevance for engineering design. Knowledge is put into practice through numerous examples with real-world applications in a range of disciplines, detailed design guidelines applicable to various vibratory systems, and over forty online interactive graphics which provide a visual summary of system behaviors and enable students to carry out their own parametric studies. Some thirteen new tables act as a quick reference for self-study, detailing key characteristics of physical systems and summarizing important results. This is an essential text for undergraduate and graduate courses in vibration analysis, and a valuable reference for practicing engineers.
