Description: The present volume comprises a collection of peer-reviewed papers covering engineering materials, manufacture and production, robotics, automation and control, environment-friendly design and manufacture, web/internet technologies, artificial intelligence and smart computing in design and manufacture.
This volume will be invaluable to production and research engineers, and also to research of students and academics interested in the field.

Description: This special topical volume on ‘Materials for Sustainable Built Environment’ is aimed to cover the recent advancements in the area of building materials with reference to energy efficiency and environmental sustainability in buildings. There are many opportunities available for materials advances to reduce the energy use and atmospheric emissions associated with the building and construction sector. The use of energy efficient building materials and products promotes conservation of dwindling nonrenewable resources. In modern construction, the key challenge is to choose materials that can reduce burdens to the environment. The volume will be of special interest to environmentally-minded producers and suppliers of building materials and to engineers, and building professionals, and also be useful to researchers and scientists.

Description: This special volume will be useful for wide range scientific researchers and engineers from area of construction materials and structures.

Description:

Collection of selected, peer reviewed papers from various areas of wood processing - chemical processing of wood and plant biomass, processes for the production of broadcast materials, hydrothermal processes and environmental issues, shows a varied range of possibilities in the exploitation and processing of wood and their interdependence. The publication should serve as inspiration for science, research, education and practice for finding the comprehensive approach to tackle the issue. The unilateral approach often tempts to distort the perception of such complex issues as efficient exploitation of wood. Multilateral understanding of the issues can contribute to the discovery and implementation of modern original practices in the processing of wood.
