Micro and Nanomachining Technology - Size Model and Complex Mechanism

Xuesong Han

Maison d'édition: Bentham Science Publishers

Synopsis

Recent advances in science and technology such as online monitoring techniques, coupling of various processing methods, surface characterization and measurement techniques have greatly promoted the development of ultraprecise machining technology. This precision now falls into the micrometer and nanometer range  - hence the name micro & nanomachining technology (MNT). 
 
Machining is a complex phenomenon associated with a variety of different mechanical, physical, and chemical processes.
Common principles defining control mechanisms such as O Jamie de geometry, Newton mechanics, Macroscopic Thermodynamics and Electromagnetics are not applicable to phenomena occurring at the nanometer scale whereas quantum effects, wave characteristics and the microscopic fluctuation become the dominant factors. A remarkable enhancement in computational capability through advanced computer hardware and high performance computation techniques (parallel computation) has enabled researchers to employ  large scale parallel numerical simulations to investigate micro & nanomachining technologies and gain insights into related processes. 
Micro and Nanomachining Technology - Size, Model and Complex Mechanism introduces readers  to the basics of micro & nanomachining  (MNT) technology and covers some of the above techniques including molecular dynamics and finite element simulations, as well as complexity property and multiscale MNT methods.
This book meets the growing need of Masters students or Ph.D. students studying nanotechnology, mechanical engineering or materials engineering, allowing them to understand the design and process issues associated with precision machine tools and the fabrication of precision components.

Ethereal Dream – Your...

Atmospheric Relaxation Therapy

You’re lying in bed, eyes wide open.
 
Your body is exhausted—but your mind won’t settle. Thoughts loop endlessly. Deadlines, worries, noise. Even in the dark, the day won’t let go.
 

 
Falling asleep shouldn’t be a battle.

Sometimes, you need a space that feels like safety—a sanctuary where your body can soften and your spirit can finally rest.
 

 
Ethereal Dream is that space.
 
A sound cocoon woven with care.
 
Infused with cutting-edge NEOWAVES™ Sound Technology, it blends delicate binaural frequencies, atmospheric nature textures, and deep sonic resonance into an experience that goes far beyond music. It reaches you where words can’t.
 

 
This is more than relaxation. It’s a return to your center. A shift into stillness, where your breath deepens, your muscles melt, and your inner world grows quiet.
 

 
Ethereal Dream isn’t just a sleep aid.
 
It’s a nightly ritual of reconnection.
 

 
Perfect for you if you…
 
• struggle with falling asleep or staying asleep
 
• feel mentally restless and find it hard to wind down
 
• experience high sensitivity, stress, or emotional exhaustion
 
• crave a soothing and meaningful evening ritual
 
• want to improve your sleep quality on a deeper, energetic level

“I was skeptical. Another ‘relaxation audio’. But this one is different. It’s like your whole nervous system just exhales. I drift off in under 10 minutes now. That used to take hours.”

“It’s like someone composed a sleep experience just for me. I used to wake up 3–4 times a night. Now I wake up once – and sometimes not at all. If sleep had a soundtrack, this would be it.”

Urban Disaster Management -...

Lyric Vale

Urban disasters have become an increasingly pressing concern as the world continues to urbanize at an unprecedented rate. Cities, once seen as bastions of opportunity and progress, are now at the forefront of vulnerability to both natural and human-made catastrophes. The rapid growth of urban populations, coupled with poorly planned infrastructure and environmental challenges, has created a precarious landscape where the impact of disasters can be catastrophic.
One of the primary drivers of urban disaster risk is the sheer scale of urbanization. By 2050, it is estimated that nearly 70% of the world’s population will reside in urban areas. This rapid urban migration often leads to the expansion of informal settlements, where millions live in overcrowded conditions with inadequate access to basic services such as clean water, sanitation, and healthcare. These areas, typically located in hazard-prone zones like floodplains and unstable hillsides, are particularly vulnerable to disasters. When disasters strike, the lack of preparedness and resilience in these communities amplifies the loss of life and property.
Climate change further exacerbates the threat of urban disasters. Rising global temperatures are intensifying the frequency and severity of natural hazards, such as hurricanes, floods, heatwaves, and wildfires. Coastal cities, home to millions, face increasing risks from sea level rise and storm surges, threatening vital infrastructure and displacing large populations. Additionally, the interconnected nature of urban systems means that the failure of one critical system, such as electricity or transportation, can cascade into widespread disruptions, leaving cities paralyzed in the wake of a disaster.
