Advances in Design, Materials and Manufacturing for Sustainability

The word sustainability tosses surprising challenges on civilization that has stimulated growing interest among researchers for development of sustainable products. Nowadays, sustainability is gaining importance due to its breakthrough research in every field. Similarly, design, materials and manufacturing play a very important role in varied areas. Hence, sustainable design, materials and manufacturing use non-polluting fabrication processes, energy saving, cost-effectively and safe-for-human resources. All enhancements in sustainable technologies provide more component life, smaller consumption of energy, reduction in the production time and cost, improvement in the productivity. Therefore, from the past few decades, sustainability is recognized as an important term in all design, materials and manufacturing processes/operations. The sustainability aspects create the need of book series which compiles the complete knowledge of advanced design, materials and manufacturing for human wellbeing. Additionally, the book series further explores the advances in sustainable lubrication and industry 4.0/5.0 and so forth.
