This book was released on 2024-06 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Size Effects in Engineering Mechanics and Manufacturing provides a detailed evaluation of size effects in mechanics, manufacturing and material sciences and their effects on related physical behaviors and phenomena. Sections address the physical aspects of size effects, including tension, compression, and bending deformation in mechanics, fatigue and damage behaviors, the mechanisms behind these effects, modeling techniques for determining the behavior and phenomena of size effects, practical applications of size effects in material sciences and micro-manufacturing, how size effects influence the process performance, process outcome, properties and quality of fabricated parts and components, and future size effects. This book provides not only a reference volume on size effects but also valuable applications for engineers, scientists, academics and research students involved in materials processing, manufacturing, materials science and engineering, engineering mechanics, mechanical engineering and the management of enterprises using materials processing technologies in the mass-production of related products. Describes the physical aspects of size effects and provides the underlying theories and principles to explain the mechanisms behind them Presents the practical applications of size effects in material sciences and micro-manufacturing and outlines the influence of process performance, process outcome, properties, and quality of fabricated parts and components Provides guidelines to understand size effects in multi-scaled manufacturing process design and product development
