Reihe: Advanced Materials Processing and Manufacturing

The scope of this book covers the fundamental background of metal matrix composites (MMCs), their processing and fabrication, testing and characterization, exploration of materials for MMCs and green MMCs, and advancements in all aspects of fabrication, testing, and applications. Development or fabrication of MMCs with evaluation of mechanical and tribological properties as well as machinability evaluation, optimization of fabrication process, and machining operations are covered.

Features:

- Covers advanced processing strategies and machining studies for composite materials

- Discusses representative volume element-based FEM modelling approaches and sustainability

- Sheds light on advancements in MMC application, fabrication, and testing

- Reviews green MMCs and sustainability in MMCs development

- Includes case studies and intelligent modelling methodologies

This book is aimed at graduate students, researchers, and professionals in micro/nanoscience and technology, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, metallurgy, and composites.
