This book reports on topics at the interface between manufacturing, mechanical and chemical
engineering. It gives a special emphasis to CAD/CAE systems, information management
systems, advanced numerical simulation methods and computational modeling techniques,
and their use in product design, industrial process optimization and in the study of the
properties of solids, structures and fluids. Control theory, ICT for engineering education as
well as ecological design and food technologies are also among the topics discussed in the
book. Based on the International Conference on Design, Simulation, Manufacturing: The
Innovation Exchange (DSMIE-2018), held on June 12-15, 2018, in Sumy, Ukraine, the book
provides academics and professionals with a timely overview and extensive information on
trends and technologies behind current and future developments of Industry 4.0, innovative
design and renewable energy generation
