MACHINERY’S HANDBOOK, 31ST EDITION, TEAM Editorial Advisory Board
Steve Heather, an acclaimed mechanical engineer, worked in the defense, aircraft, auto- mobile, and lighting industries for more than 30 years. More recently, he taught mechani- cal engineering and computer-aided design (CAD) at the college level to engineering and architectural students. He is an expert in AutoCAD ® , CNC programming, multi-stage press tool design, and precision machining, as well as author of AutoCAD ® 3D Modeling and Engineers Precision Data Pocket Reference and coauthor of Beginning AutoCAD ® Exercise Workbook, Advanced AutoCAD ® Exercise Workbook, and AutoCAD ® Pocket Reference, all published by Industrial Press. He is an invaluable engineering advisor and contributor to material throughout the Machinery’s Handbook , as well as a skilled technical illustrator, whose work enhances the current edition . David O. Kazmer is professor of plastics engineering at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, as well as associate research professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He is the recipient of 19 recognition awards, including the Ishii-Toshiba Design for Manu- facturing Award, an inventor with over 20 patents, and author of more than 200 publications and vital text in the Machinery’s Handbook . His academic work is motivated by industry experiences, most recently as director of research and development at Dynisco HotRunners. His teaching and research encompass process development, product and machine design, and design methodologies, including polymer processing, design for manufacturing, opti- mization, simulation, process control, and technology strategy. His ongoing research has contributed to development of new manufacturing processes with improved real-time con- trol and robust design tools. Howard Kuhn most recently served as adjunct professor at the University of Pittsburgh, Swanson School of Engineering, where he taught courses in manufacturing, additive man- ufacturing, product realization, and engineering entrepreneurship and performed research on additive manufacturing. He currently is a technical advisor to America Makes (National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute), where he previously was acting deputy direc- tor. Specializing in advanced technology implementation, he has engaged in the design and application of multiple additive manufacturing technologies for major government clients and private industry. He has developed undergraduate and graduate courses in engineering design, failure analysis, deformation processing, and powder and mechanical metallurgy; conducts tailored training courses on additive manufacturing for government agencies, trade organizations, and companies; and contributed authoritative revisions to this edition. Jennifer Marrs has worked as a mechanical engineer for more than 20 years. An accredited Professional Engineer, she earned a master of science degree in mechanical engineering at Northeastern University, holds a patent, and is a registered US patent agent. Her areas of expertise include manufacturing engineering, design and analysis of machinery, tool and fixture design, machinery safety, fluid systems, industry standards, and intellectual property issues. She has worked with companies of all sizes and ran a successful consulting prac- tice for nearly a decade. She is the author of the Industrial Press text Machine Designers Reference , as well as key technical material in the Machinery’s Handbook . Contributors Viktor P. Astakhov earned his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Tula State Polytech- nic University, Tula–Moscow, USSR–Russia, in 1983. He was awarded a DSci designation (Dr. Habilitation, Docteur d’État) in 1991 and the title “State Professor of Ukraine” in 1991 for outstanding service rendered during his teaching career and the profound impact his work had on science and technology. An internationally recognized educator, researcher, and mechanical engineer, he has won a number of prestigious awards. In 2011, he was elected to the SME College of Fellows, and, in 2018, he became a member of the European Union x
