Computer aided manufacture (CAM) Books
Tapir Academic Press Layer Manufacturing, Volume 1: A Challenge of the
Book SynopsisManufacturing today means that more complex products must be brought to the market at a dramatically reduced time. In order to achieve this, efficient tools must be used such as CAD/CAM in combination with the new fast field of rapid prototyping. Prototyping can be a potential bottle neck in a product development activity. A delay in bringing the product to market can cause a disaster for the whole product. This work examines layer manufacturing and these related issues.

Book SynopsisOne critical barrier leading to successful implementation of flexible manufacturing and related automated systems is the ever-increasing complexity of their modeling, analysis, simulation, and control. Research and development over the last three decades has provided new theory and graphical tools based on Petri nets and related concepts for the design of such systems. The purpose of this book is to introduce a set of Petri-net-based tools and methods to address a variety of problems associated with the design and implementation of flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs), with several implementation examples.There are three ways this book will directly benefit readers. First, the book will allow engineers and managers who are responsible for the design and implementation of modern manufacturing systems to evaluate Petri nets for applications in their work. Second, it will provide sufficient breadth and depth to allow development of Petri-net-based industrial applications. Third, it will allow the basic Petri net material to be taught to industrial practitioners, students, and academic researchers much more efficiently. This will foster further research and applications of Petri nets in aiding the successful implementation of advanced manufacturing systems.Table of ContentsFlexible manufacturing systems - an overview; Petri nets as an integrated tool and methodology in FMS design; fundamentals of Petri nets; modelling FMS with Petri nets; FMS performance analysis; Petri net simulation and tools; performance evaluation of pull and push paradigms in flexible automation; augmented-timed Petri nets for modelling breakdown handling; real-time Petri nets for discrete event control; comparison of real-time Petri nets and ladder logic diagrams; an object-oriented design methodology for development of FMS control software; scheduling using Petri nets; Petri nets and future research.

Book SynopsisThis book gives an overview of the works performed by the Computer and Automation Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Since the late 1970s, there was a need for the recognition of the fundamental role of adequate abstractions and higher level conceptual models in all fields of computer applications. The approach presented explores various conceptual descriptive methods of specification processing.
