products, and applied medical sciences.
Dr. T.S. Sudarshan obtained his Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech)
degree in Metallurgy from Indian Institute of Technology Madras and
completed his Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy
(Ph.D.) degrees in Materials Engineering Science from Virginia
Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), USA.
Dr. Sudarshan is currently the President and CEO of Materials
Modification Inc., which is at the forefront of research,
development and commercialization of advanced materials utilizing
novel processing techniques. He has demonstrated technological
leadership for well over three decades, and has worked extensively
throughout his career in the areas spanning nanotechnology and
surface engineering for which he is very well known throughout the
world. Through his leadership, he has raised over $60 million in
funding for the primary purpose of very high-risk, high-payoff
advanced technology related programs in several nontraditional
areas. Dr. Sudarshan has published well over 175 plus peer reviewed
papers and has edited 32 books in the areas spanning Surface
Modification Technologies and Advanced Materials. He is editor of
two international journals, Surface Engineering and Materials and
Manufacturing Processes, and holds over 25 patents. He has chaired
numerous committees for all federal agencies, chaired many
committees of the Ohio Third Frontier, served as a member of the
National Materials Advisory Board and Trustee of ASM International.
In recognition of his efforts, contributions and impact on
furthering science, technology and their far-reaching applications,
he has been elected as: (a) Fellow of the American Society for
Materials, International (ASM Int.); (b) Fellow of the
International Federation for Heat Treatment and Surface Engineering
(IFHTSE), and (c) Fellow of the Institute of Materials. He was also
awarded the Distinguished Alumni of Indian Institute of Technology
(IIT Madras).
Dr. K. Manigandan obtained his Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.
2009) degree in Mechanical Engineering from SASTRA University,
India and his Master of Science (M.S. 2011) and Doctor of
Philosophy (Ph.D. 2014) degrees in Mechanical Engineering from The
University of Akron, USA. Dr. Manigandan is presently Research
Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at
The University of Akron. He is the author of over 60 technical
publications in archival journals, proceedings of national and
international conferences, and technical reports. His research
interests and expertise include failure and fracture analysis of
materials across the broad spectrum of metals and the family of
composites to include novel metal-matrix composites and
high-performance ceramic matrix composites. His current research
interest and involvement is the use of innovative testing
techniques to understand the mechanical behavior of novel
materials, spanning both engineering (metals) and engineered
(composites) for use in performance critical applications in the
aerospace industry.
"The new trends in manufacturing techniques, and in particular
additive manufacturing, have the potential to revolutionize the
manufacturing industry. In these is also the challenge as the
design will no longer only be the design of component, but also the
internal structures of the material must be designed and be
compliant with the component function. This puts the material in
the center and the book puts the finger on this and by its content
takes the first steps in lifting this to the potential
readers."
— Anders E. W. Jarfors, Jönköping University, Sweden"Current, up to
date and great detail for manufacturing materials along with
excellent references."
