Holonic and Multi-Agent Systems for Manufacturing Third International Conference on Industrial Applications of Holonic and Mul


Free Download Holonic and Multi-Agent Systems for Manufacturing: Third International Conference on Industrial Applications of Holonic and Multi-Agent Systems, HoloMAS 2007, Regensburg, Germany, September 3-5, 2007 By Alois Zoitl, Thomas Strasser, Ken Hall, Ray Staron, Christoph Sünder (auth.), Vladimír Mařík, Valeriy Vyatkin, Armando W. Colombo (eds.)

The research of holonic and agent-based systems is developing rapidly, as is the community around this R&D topic. Despite the fact that real-life practical implementations of such systems remain surprisingly rare, the leaders in different branches of industry feel that the holonic and agent-based systems represent the only way to manage and control very complex, highly distributed systems in the future. The relevant R&D gains more and more support from both industry as well as academic sources. Quite naturally, the number of scientific events aimed at the subject field is also growing rapidly. We can see new lines of conferences like INDIN, while we can observe a strong focus of the already well-established conferences, like INCOM or ETFA, being shifted toward holonic and agent-based manufacturing systems. This is a good sign of the increasing recognition and importance of the field. We are convinced of the worth and importance of the continuation of the HoloMAS events, which have served as pioneering melting pots for ideas connected with distributed decision making and control in industry and which have already gained international reputation.

Behind the Curve Can Manufacturing Still Provide Inclusive Growth


Free Download Behind the Curve: Can Manufacturing Still Provide Inclusive Growth? by Robert Z. Lawrence
English | August 27, 2024 | ISBN: 0881327476 | True EPUB | 360 pages | 9.9 MB
Manufacturing jobs, once the backbone of the modern US economy, have declined as a share of GDP over recent decades, darkening opportunities for middle-class advancement. Similar trends have impacted export superpowers like China, Germany, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea. Driven by nostalgia for a bygone era, however, many countries have turned to reshoring and "industrial policies" to revive manufacturing employment.

Battery Manufacturing and Electric and Hybrid Vehicles


Free Download Malcom R. Perdontis, "Battery Manufacturing and Electric and Hybrid Vehicles "
English | ISBN: 1614705836 | 2013 | 161 pages | PDF | 4 MB
The United States is one of several countries encouraging production and sales of fully electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles to reduce oil consumption, air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provided federal financial support to develop a domestic lithium-ion battery supply chain for electric vehicles. President Obama has called for 1 million fully electric vehicles to be on U.S. roads by 2015. In making a national commitment to building electric vehicles and most of their components in the United States, the federal government has invested $2.4 billion in electric battery production facilities and nearly $80 million a year for electric battery research and development. This book examines the nascent battery manufacturing industry and considers efforts to strengthen U.S. capacity to manufacture batteries and battery components for hybrid and electric vehicles.

Sustainable Additive Technologies and Innovative Manufacturing Techniques


Free Download Sustainable Additive Technologies and Innovative Manufacturing Techniques
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031736567 | 108 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 76 MB
This book offers a unique vantage point on converting ideas into products using additive manufacturing. Intended for novice and beginner designers, the process of industrial design is explained in order to translate verbal requirements into design constraints with the aid of the House of Quality approach. The product is then sketched and ported into a CAD software for modelling. The reader is then guided to the selection of the most appropriate additive manufacturing process, including PLA, resin, or metal 3D printing, along with material combination to meet their requirements. The book puts recyclability at the forefront of material discussion, from energy and circular economy perspectives, as they are central to achieving economic and energy efficiency. This is done by presenting the reader with do-it-yourself projects, which include processes like sand casting and lost PLA/Wax, that can be followed in a step-by-step manner using conventionally available tools.

Manufacturing Processes 4 Forming


Free Download Manufacturing Processes 4: Forming By Fritz Klocke (auth.)
2013 | 516 Pages | ISBN: 3642367712 | PDF | 25 MB
This book provides essential information on metal forming, utilizing a practical distinction between bulk and sheet metal forming. In the field of bulk forming, it examines processes of cold, warm and hot bulk forming, as well as rolling and a new addition, the process of thixoforming. As for the field of sheet metal working, on the one hand it deals with sheet metal forming processes (deep drawing, flange forming, stretch drawing, metal spinning and bending). In terms of special processes, the chapters on internal high-pressure forming and high rate forming have been revised and refined. On the other, the book elucidates and presents the state of the art in sheet metal separation processes (shearing and fineblanking). Furthermore, joining by forming has been added to the new edition as a new chapter describing mechanical methods for joining sheet metals.The new chapter "Basic Principles" addresses both sheet metal and bulk forming, in addition to metal physics, plastomechanics and computational basics; these points are complemented by the newly added topics of metallography and analysis, materials and processes for testing, and tribology and lubrication techniques. The chapters are supplemented by an in-depth description of modern numeric methods such as the finite element method. All chapters have been updated and revised for the new edition, and many practical examples from modern manufacturing processes have been added.
