This encyclopedia provides a comprehensive guide to design, with entries on key topics in the history and theory of design, addressing a range of design forms including graphic, textile, furniture, metal, ceramic, fashion, stage and film, vehicle and product design, as well as national histories of design and key design movements.

This reference work is written and reviewed by members of The International Academy for Production Engineering, which represent the highest standards in research on production engineering. It covers fundamental concepts in the field, as well as recent developments and emerging concepts in design, optimization, control, management of processes, machines, and systems.

This encyclopedia is a one-stop reference work spanning the whole composites science field. It also cover the development and application of the principles of multi-scale mechanics and physical model-based design methods and the incorporation of mechanisms of deformation and fracture into predictive design equations that are useful for the design engineer.

This dictionary provides definitions and explanations for chemical engineering terms in areas including: materials, energy balances, reactions, separations, sustainability, safety, and ethics. Cross-referenced and complemented by line drawings, this dictionary is authoritative and also covers many pertinent terms from the fields of chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics.

This dictionary covers all aspects of mechanical engineering including thermodynamics, heat transfer, combustion, stress analysis, design, manufacturing, materials mechanics, dynamics vibrations, and control. It provides authoritative guidance for students, practising engineers, and others needing definitions of mechanical engineering terms.

This encyclopedia contains information on the development of materials, their application to structures, and their adaptation to a variety of systems and integrated across a wide range of industrial applications. It is also aimed for use by research projects, R&D programs and strategic planning in various industries that are considering using these technologies.

This encyclopedia goes far beyond the usual literature on management to create a broad foundation for this field. Entries are often accompanied by sidebars with excerpts from primary texts and by pull quotes with stimulating epigrams. Many articles include extended case studies of leaders ranging from Alexander the Great to Louis B. Mayer.

The Encyclopedia of Systems and Control collects a broad range of short expository articles that describe the current state of the art in control and systems engineering. The topics range from basic principles of feedback in servomechanisms to advanced topics such as the control of Boolean networks and evolutionary game theory.

Denna ordbok är framtagen för att underlätta studier inom tillverkningsteknologi och är ett samarbete mellan lärare och studenter inom Maskin och Materialteknik vid Jönköping University och Blekinge Tekniska Högskola.
