Written by an educator with close to 40 years of experience in developing and teaching design a
and manufacturing courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels, Green Design and
Manufacturing for Sustainability integrates green design and manufacturing within the frame-
Manufacturing
work of sustainability, emphasizing cost, recyclables, and reuse. It includes the analytical tech-
M
niques for cost minimization, reduction of material waste, and the reduction of energy consumption
during the manufacturing process.
a
The text introduces sustainability principles, then goes on to detail all aspects of green design, n for Sustainability
economics, feasible material selection, and relevant and efficient manufacturing processes. It u
highlights techniques such as life cycle cost assessment, reuse, and recyclables and showcases
f
them with examples and problems solved. a

c
In addition, the author defines green mechanical design as the selection of materials, processes,
r
t
and geometry that satisfies specified and implied environmental requirements. He stresses that for u e
sustainability, social, environmental, and economic development must be integrated and balanced.

Developed to bring environmental issues into the basics of mechanical component design n
and manufacture, the textbook brings together principles of environmentally conscious design
g
D
and sustainable manufacture in a format with examples and problems that can be adapted for

undergraduate classes.

The carefully selected range of examples and exercises presented makes it easier to adopt into the
r
i
engineering curriculum suitable for senior-level undergraduates as well as first-year graduates. g
