The aim of this special volume was to facilitate the exchange of information on the best practices for Sustainable Power, Sustainable Materials, Green Manufacturing Technology and Applications, etc. It provides an opportunity for engineers and scientists, in academia, industry and government, to address the most innovative research and development ideas, including technical challenges, social and economic issues, and to discuss ideas, results, work-in-progress and experience concerning all aspects of Green Power, Materials and Manufacturing Technology and Applications. The work offers the reader a wealth of ideas. Review from Book News Inc.: Volume one of this two-volume set reports the results of recent research on CAD/CAM, composite design and optimization, control simulation, dynamics and vibration, and energy efficiency. The Chinese contributors propose a down-hole blow-out preventer, a material selection model based on total life cycle design, a reliable wireless network architecture using distributed control, and a method analyzing the relationship between geographical factors and protein content in winter wheat. Volume two addresses power systems, electronic circuits, material formulations, tribology, optical and visual signal, and sustainable materials. Three papers from Changchun University of Science and Technology develop a 785 nm wavelength super-luminescent diode and an 808 nm semiconductor laser with tailored gain for mode shape. Other topics of the 154 papers include computer modeling for the CFG pile in highway soft foundation, the hardness of a titanium alloy under laser shock peening, precast wall panels with carbon fiber grid, and mixed emulsion explosives for open pit mining.
