Acknowledgment
I would like to first thank Mr Joseph P. Hayton for recognizing the need of such an engineering design book series that offers knowledge in modern engineering design principles, methods, and tools to mechanical engineering students. His enthusiasm in moving the book project forward and eventually publishing the book series is highly appreciated. Mr Hayton’s colleagues at Elsevier, Ms Lisa Jones and her production team, and Ms Chelsea Johnson, have made significant contributions in transforming the original manuscripts into a well-organized and professionally polished book that is suitable and presentable to our readers.
I am grateful to my current and former graduate students Dr. Yunxiang Wang, Dr. Mangesh Edke, Dr. Qunli Sun, Dr. Sung-Hwan Joo, Dr. Xiaoming Yu, Dr. Hsiu-Ying Hwang, Mr. Trey Wheeler, Mr Iulian Grindeanu, Mr. Tyler Bunting, Mr. David Gibson, Mr. Chienchih Chen, Mr. Tim Long, Mr. Poh-Soong Tang, and Mr. Javier Silver, for their excellent efforts in conducting research on numerous aspects of engineering design. Ideas and results that came out of their research have been largely incorporated into this book. Their dedication to the research in developing computer-aided approaches for support of product design modeling is acknowledged and is highly appreciated.
