Advances in engineering precision have tracked with technological progress for hundreds of years. Over the last few decades, precision engineering has been the specific focus of research on an international scale. The outcome of this effort has been the establishment of a broad range of engineering principles and techniques that form the foundation of precision design.
Today's precision manufacturing machines and measuring instruments represent highly specialised processes that combine deterministic engineering with metrology. Spanning a broad range of technology applications, precision engineering principles frequently bring together scientific ideas drawn from mechanics, materials, optics, electronics, control, thermo-mechanics, dynamics, and software engineering. This book provides a collection of these principles in a single source. Each topic is presented at a level suitable for both undergraduate students and precision engineers in the field. Also included is a wealth of references and example problems to consolidate ideas, and help guide the interested reader to more advanced literature on specific implementations.
Industry Reviews
"This is a highly informative and significant book for all those studying or practicing precision engineering."
- Bernard Hon, University of Liverpool, UK
"The book, Basics of Precision Engineering, delivers a useful perspective on precision engineering. It is an excellent learning resource to UG and PG students and Precision Engineers in the field. The book covers both scientific fundamental and engineering application for the development of precision machine. The tone of the book reflects a learned appreciation for rapid development precision engineering. The authors are proven scientists specializing in precision manufacturing and metrology. The construction of the book meshes well with its organization and lends itself successfully to the study of different scientific aspects of precision engineering from kinetic design, dynamics, metrology, system modeling to control systems. The book is well-referenced, making skillful use of first-person sources."
