This book discusses the thermo-mechanical and tribological behavior of various materials manufactured using additive manufacturing (AM). It examines a range of materials including metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites and provides insights into how processing parameters can be manipulated to achieve desired thermal, mechanical, and tribological characteristics. The book also addresses challenges related to the reproducibility and reliability of AM materials, offering solutions and strategies to overcome these hurdles in both research and industrial contexts.Provides an understanding of the critical thermo-mechanical and tribological properties of additive manufactured (AM) materialsExplains how thermal stresses, heat treatment, and mechanical loading affect the performance of AM materialsOffers a focused examination of friction, wear, and lubrication characteristics in AM materialsIncludes practical examples and case studies from industries such as aerospace, automotive, and biomedicalDiscusses material performance and optimization strategiesThis book is intended for graduate students and researchers in materials science, manufacturing, mechanical engineering, and industrial engineering.

Handling of powders and bulk solids is a critical industrial technology across a broad spectrum of industries, from minerals processing to bulk and fine chemicals, and the food and pharmaceutical industries, yet is rarely found in the curricula of engineering or chemistry departments. With contributions from leading authors in their respective fields, Characterisation of Bulk Solids provides the reader with a sound understanding of the techniques, importance and application of particulate materials characterisation. It covers the fundamental characteristics of individual particles and bulk particulate materials, and includes discussion of a wide range of measurement techniques, and the use of material characteristics in design and industrial practice. The reader will then be in a better position to diagnose solids handling and processing problems in industry, and to deal with experts and equipment suppliers from an informed standpoint.Written for post-graduate engineers, chemical scientists and technologists at all stages of their industrial career, the book will also serve as an ideal primer in any of the specialist areas to inform further study.

Handling of powders and bulk solids is a critical industrial technology across a broad spectrum of industries, from minerals processing to bulk and fine chemicals, and the food and pharmaceutical industries.Bulk Solids Handling: Equipment Selection and Operation provides an overview of the major technologies involved in the storage and handling of particulate materials from large grains to fine cohesive materials. Topics covered include characterisation of individual particles and bulk particulate materials, silo design for strength and flow, pneumatic conveying systems, mechanical conveying, and small scale operations. Guidance is given on appropriate equipment choices depending on the type of material to be handled, and applications and limitations of current bulk solids handling equipment are discussed. The reader will then be in a better position to diagnose solids handling and processing problems in industry, and to deal with experts and equipment suppliers from an informed standpoint.With contributions from leading academic and industry experts, the book is essential for anyone who has responsibility for handling, storage, processing or production involving particulate materials. It is designed to be equally applicable to engineers, scientists and technologists, working in for example agriculture, construction, food, bulk and fine chemicals industries, minerals and metals, pharmaceuticals, power generation and waste handling.
