The fourth edition introduces more modern topics, including new materials, processes and systems. End of chapter problems are also thoroughly revised to make the material more relevant. Several figures have been enhanced to significantly improve the quality of artwork. All of these changes will help engineers better understand the topic and how to apply it in the field; Taking an all-inclusive look at manufacturing processes, the author also provides substantial coverage of engineering materials and production systems. This book follows a more quantitative and design-oriented approach than other texts on the subject ER -
