Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing: Materials, Processes, and Systems (Hardcover)

In this introductory book, Groover not only takes a modern, all-inclusive look at manufacturing processes but also provides substantial coverage of engineering materials and production systems. It follows a more quantitative and design-oriented approach than other texts in the field, helping students gain a better understanding of important concepts. Students will also discover how material properties relate to the process variables in a given process as well as how to perform manufacturing science and quantitative engineering analysis of manufacturing processes.
