Recent Trends in Design, Materials and Manufacturing

The book presents the select proceedings of the International Conference on Recent Advances in Design, Materials and Manufacturing (ICRADMM 2020). The topics covered include structural mechanics, kinematics and dynamics of machines, mechanical structures and stress analysis, noise and vibration analysis, fault detection and condition monitoring, optimization techniques, mechatronics & robotics, product design and development, tribology. The book also discusses various properties and performance attributes of modern-age design in mechanical engineering including their durability, workability, and carbon footprint. The book will be a valuable reference for researchers and professionals interested in sustainable development in mechanical engineering design and allied fields.
