The book highlights mechanical, thermal, electrical, and magnetic properties, and characterization of additive manufactured products in a single volume. It will serve as an ideal reference text for graduate students and academic researchers in diverse engineering fields including industrial, manufacturing, and materials science.This textExplains mechanical properties like hardness, tensile strength, impact strength, and flexural strength of additive manufactured componentsDiscusses characterization of components fabricated by different additive manufacturing processes including fusion deposition modeling, and selective laser sinteringHighlights corrosion behavior of additive manufactured polymers, metals, and compositesCovers thermal, electrical, and magnetic properties of additively manufactured materialsIllustrates intrinsic features and their Influence on mechanical properties of additive manufactured productsThis text discusses properties, wear behavior and characterization of components produced by additive manufacturing technology. These products find applications in diverse fields including design, manufacturing and tooling, aerospace, automotive industry, and biomedical industry. It will further help the readers in understanding the parameters that influence the mechanical behavior and characterization of components manufactured by additive manufacturing processes. It will serve as an ideal reference text for graduate students and academic researchers in the fields of industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, automotive engineering, aerospace engineering, and materials science.

Reliability theory has become one of the important areas in Operational Research and Systems Engineering. Any system analysis, in order to be complete, must give due consideration to system reliability and availability. A system deSigner is often faced with the problems of evaluation and improvement of system relia­ bility and determination of optimum preventive maintenance schedule. In the solution of these problems, he is largely aided by mathematical mOdels. These models have received consi­ derable attention in the past several years following the satel­ lite era. The monographs of Gnedenko, Belyayev and Solovyev, and Barlow and Proschan describe the state of art of the subject upto 1965 and are largely responsible for the further work in the subject. The large number of papers and surveys that have appeared subsequently in journals devoted to Operational Research, Industrial Engineering and Statistical Quality Control amply demonstrate the overwhelming importance of the subject in contexts other than satellite and space craft research. While there are very many important problems that stem from these models, atten­ tion has been largely confined to calculations of reliability of the system. In a lighter vein the authors feel that the original papers in the area have a common feature-oBJECTIVE ORIENTEDNES- the general theme of Operational Research and in general, it is carried too far and to a high degree of meticulousness. Thus there is a general need for a cogent account of all the results that have appeared in the literature.
