About the Book
This reference work provides a comprehensive insight into the recent developments of applications of Nonlinear Dynamics in the field of production systems. Applications range from manufacturing and process engineering, to selected topics in mechanical engineering, automation technology and plant management. This compilation of contributions shows how methods of Nonlinear Dynamics can be used to solve problems arising in traditional or non-conventional manufacturing techniques such as turning, high-speed milling, laser welding, jet cutting, or electrochemical processing. Recent progress in optimizing the dynamics of production lines and complete production systems is also covered.
The book addresses both, experts in Nonlinear Dynamics who want to apply their methods to real-world problems, and practitioners who seek solutions for their engineering problems.
This reference work provides a comprehensive insight into past developments in the application of non-linear dynamics, such as production systems in the manufacturing and process engineering, mechanical engineering and plant construction and automation technology. As such, it is the first publication to document the successful implementation of non-linear dynamics into current tasks or problems of engineering thus far unsolved. The interdisciplinary team of contributors from research and industry establishes ties between mechanical methods of manufacturing and new methods reaching the dynamics of production lines and complete production systems.
