Book written by V. C. Venkatesh from Faculty of Engineering & Technology Multimedia University Malaka, Malaysia and Sudin Izman from Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Malaysian University of Technology owes its inspiration to the M Sc Programme in precision engineering initiated in GINTIC
Institute of Technology, Singapore by Cranfield University lecturers—Prof. P.A. McKeown,
Prof. J. Corbett, and Prof. W. Wills Moren during the author’s tenure at NTU, Singapore during
1993–97. This was further enhanced by the author’s CIRP and ASPE membership and his attendance
of their conferences. However, the main push was the purchase of Precitech’s ultra-precision turning
and grinding (UPTG) machine whose working needed to be understood. The need for high stiffness
brought about by hydrostatic and aerostatic bearings made the author work in this area while
introducing the course at the undergraduate level in NTU and later for seven years in UTM, Johor
Bahru, Malaysia. The author’s success with the publication of his first book Experimental techniques in
metal cutting in 1981, followed by a 2nd Edition in 1987 strengthened his resolve to write on precision
engineering.
This book is divided into eight chapters:
Chapter 1 is an introduction to precision engineering.
Chapter 2 deals with all precision cutting tool materials.
Chapter 3 deals with the mechanics of materials cutting.
Chapter 4 is on advances in precision grinding
Chapter 5 on ultra-precision machine elements
Chapter 6 discusses mostly hydrostatic bearings
Chapter 7 discusses gas lubricated bearings
Chapter 8 is the final chapter and deals with MEMS (Microelectro-mechanical Systems).
eBook features:
Highlight, take notes, and search in the book
Page numbers coincide with the physical edition
Length: 436 pages
Due to its large file size, this book may take longer to download
