Advances in Industrial Machines and Mechanisms, 1st ed. 2021 Select Proceedings of IPROMM 2020 Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering Series

This book presents the select proceedings of the 1st International  13^th National Conference on Industrial Problems on Machines and Mechanism (IPRoMM 2020) and examines issues in the design, manufacture, and performance of mechanical and mechatronic elements and systems that are employed in modern machines and devices. The topics covered include robotics, industrial CAD/CAM systems, mechatronics, machinery associated with conventional and unconventional manufacturing systems, material handling and automated assembly, mechanical and electro-mechanical systems of modern machinery and equipment, micro-devices, compliant mechanisms, hybrid electric vehicle and electric vehicle mechanisms, acoustic and noise control. This book also discusses the recent advances in the integration of IoT and Industry 4.0 in mechanism and machines. The book will be a valuable reference for academicians, researchers, and professionals interested in the design and development of industrial machines.

Prof. C. Amarnath is a Mechanical Engineering Graduate of 1968. After earning his Ph.D in the area of Mechanism Synthesis and Design he joined IIT Bombay as a faculty member and has held several senior positions like Head of Dept and Dean at IITB. He was heading SINE, the Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Incubation Centre at IIT Bombay till his retirement from service in 2012. Prof. Amarnath has several publications to his credit and has established the Robotics Lab, the Textile Lab and the Innovation Centre at IITB. He is a consultant to several industries like L&T, Godrej, BHEL, Nuclear Power Corporation. Major projects under taken by him (some as member of a team) include a Spiral Heat Exchanger Mfg. Machine (L&T), Push-Pull Mechanism for NPC, Six legged walking machine (BRNS-BARC) and a Remotely Operated Robot for the Army Technology Board. Prof. Amarnath was instrumental in establishing, and is the current President of the Association for Machines and Mechanisms. He was recently bestowed the Distinguished Service award by IFToMM the International Federation.

Prof. Srinivasa Prakash Regalla is currently a professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Birla Institute of Technology and Science-Pilani, Hyderabad campus. He obtained his B.Tech. (Mech) from Kakatiya University, Warangal, M.Tech. (Mech) from the Indian Institute of Technology - Kanpur and Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology - Delhi. His major areas of research interests include computer-aided mechanical design, additive manufacturing, tribology in sheet metal forming, biomechanics, and design of medical devices. He has published 50 papers in respected international journals and two books on product design. Dr. Regalla received the BIRAC-BIG grant award in 2014 for prosthetic design and distinguished alumni award from his B.Tech. college.
