This book provides focused and structured knowledge of a defined and limited subject in terms of detailed implementation, a systematic description of theoretical hypotheses and results, constructive and design characteristics for a product/process or experiment, and exemplary applications to real cases. This is the second volume in the CIRP Novel Topics in Production Engineering (CNTPE), a collection of essays addressing novel research areas in production engineering, published regularly in book volumes. Each essay provides a systematization and explanation of a technology, an approach, a process, etc., and covers a novel research area once it has been published in the scientific literature for a few years. These constitute the background knowledge for scientists/professionals to approach a novel scientific and technological area addressing background concepts, relevant tools and methodologies, language, and theory.
Part 1: STC A - Life cycle engineering and assembly.- Technical language processing in manufacturing applications.- Part 2: STC F Forming.- Towards First-Time-Right production in metal forming processes.- Part 3: STC M Machines.- Bayesian inference for milling stability modelling.- Part 4: STC O - Production systems and organizations.- A modular framework for implementing release control policies in discrete-event simulation models.
