This book is the result of 40 years of the combined authors’ experience in
mechanical and fluid dynamics engineering. It gives an overview of product and
process development from the analytical standpoint.
This book has not been intended to revolutionize the casting industry. The
principals of fluid dynamics and static mechanics were largely developed in the
nineteenth century, but process development still largely remains a trial and error
method. This book is intended to underline the principals of strength of materials
and fluid dynamics that are the foundation of the casting product and process
development.
This book has been written as a resource and design tool for product and
process engineers and designers who work with aluminium castings. It combines
many aspects of product and process development, which include the basic
principals of static mechanics and fluid dynamics as well as completely developed
applications allowing solving problems at every stage of the development process.
This book has five main parts: (1) overview of casting processes, (2) fluid
dynamics, (3) strength of materials, (4) sand casting, permanent mould, and die
casting process development, and (5) quality control.
The unique feature of this book is a combination of real life problems, which
product and process engineers face every day, with user-friendly applications
written in MATLAB® and Visual Basic. The comprehensive unit conversion
calculator as well as examples in the area of strength of materials is intended to
serve as a reference for practicing engineers as well as for students who are
beginning to study mechanical engineering. It cab also be used by process
engineers, who contribute greatly to product design.
Completely developed process design applications will help process engineers
to take full advantage of the power that computers and software bring to
engineering. Product engineers can also get inside of process development
procedures as well as the governing equations that are used in casting process development
