Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing: Materials, Processes, and Systems (Prentice Hall International Series in Industrial and Systems Engineering)

Engineers rely on Groover because of the book’s quantitative and engineering-oriented approach that provides more equations and numerical problem exercises. 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.

Key Benefit: This book takes a modern, all-inclusive look at manufacturing, strategically dividing its contents—65% concerned with manufacturing process technologies, 35% dealing with engineering materials and production systems. Key Topics: The author's approach is more quantitative and engineering-oriented than most competing books, with more equations and numerical problem exercises. His goal is to make the subject of manufacturing processes more of an objective science and less of a descriptive art.
