Tecnologia meccanica (Mechanical Engineering Technology) is a book written by Serope Kalpakjian and Steven R. Schmid, published by Pearson in 2008. It is one of the most widely used textbooks in the world for the teaching of mechanical engineering technology. It covers a comprehensive and balanced presentation of the various manufacturing processes, with a multidisciplinary approach and an updated, concise and thorough treatment. Each chapter is enriched by numerous examples, exercises and problems that allow students to measure their progress. The book also stimulates readers to understand the importance of mechanical engineering technology in the manufacturing processes of various nations, in a context of global economy.
The book is divided into 12 chapters, as follows:
- Introduction
- Fundamentals of mechanical behavior of materials
- Structural and technological properties of metallic materials
- Surfaces, tribology, dimensional characteristics and quality control
- Casting processes and heat treatments
- Bulk deformation processes
- Sheet metal working processes
- Machining processes with cutting tools
- Machining processes with abrasives and unconventional processes
- Properties and processing of polymer materials, rapid prototyping and rapid tooling
- Properties and processing of metal powders, ceramic materials, glass and semiconductors
- Joining processes
- Microfabrication
The book is available in Italian edition adapted from the original English version. It can be purchased online from various websites, such as [Google Books], [Libreria Universitaria], or [IBS]. The book also comes with a MyLab edition that includes online access to additional resources, such as videos, simulations, quizzes and exercises.
The book is suitable for students of mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, materials engineering and related disciplines. It can also be used as a reference for professionals and researchers in the field of manufacturing engineering.
