Advanced Multifunctional Lightweight Aerostructures; Design, Development, And Implementation

See What’s New in the Second Edition:

• Explores the rising expectations of the user for operator interfaces, ease of use, algorithms, speed, communications, and computational capabilities
• Details the expansion of machines such as the non-Cartesian CMM in market share and their increase in accuracy and utility
• Discusses changes in probing systems, and the number of points they can deliver to ever more sophisticated software
• Examines the pressures created by new applications to improve machine performance

The book features two new editors, one from academia and one from a metrology intensive user industry, many new authors, and known experts who have grown with the field since the last version. Furnishing case studies from a wide range of installations, the book details how CMMs can best be applied to gain a competitive advantage in a variety of business settings

Part 2 develops the methods of evaluation of the human-machine systems, looking at the evaluation of the activity of the human operator at work and human error analysis methods.

Finally, Part 3 is dedicated to human-machine cooperation, where the authors show that a cooperative agent comprises a know-how and a so-called know-how-to-cooperate and show the way to design and evaluate that cooperation in real industrial contexts.
