ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The very first Conference of All India Machine Tool Design and Research (AIMTDR) was held in 1967 at Jadavpur University.Subsequently, it has been renamed as All India Manufacturing Technology, Design and Research (AIMTDR) and has been popularamong professional circules as a unique forum for presentation and discussion of original research and development in the broad areaof Manufacturing. The AIMTDR Conference, held once in two years, has always reflected the changing scenario in manufacturingand has provided the much needed focus for future growth. In view of its wide global acceptance, AIMTDR has been declared asInternational Conference since 2006. The 1st International & 22nd AIMTDR Conference was held at IIT Roorkee during December 21– 23, 2006 while the 2nd International & 23rd AIMTDR Conference was held during December 15-17, 2008 at IIT Madras as part of theGolden Jubilee Celebrations. The present 3rd International and 24th AIMTDR Conference is being organized by the Andhra Universityunder the stewardship of Prof. Beela Satyanarayana (the first Vice-Chancellor of Andhra University from engineering discipline)during December 13-15, 2010.

SCOPE AND THEME OF THE CONFERENCE

Manufacturing is and will remain as one of the principal means through which wealth is created. The emergence of new manufacturingtechnologies, spurred by intense competition, will lead to unprecedented innovative and new products and processes. It is thusessential that the manufacturing industry be prepared to implement advanced manufacturing methods in time. A critical step inpreparing for the future will be the development of an underlying technical foundation through research by industry, academia, andgovernment institutions, which must be guided by a clear vision of manufacturing in the 21st century and an understanding of thefundamental challenges that must be met to realize this vision. Economic growth and international competitiveness mostly depend onthe generation and transfer of knowledge and technology. The aim of this conference is to provide an interdisciplinary platform formanagers, engineers, researchers and students to discuss and promote early dissemination of research results and technology transferin all areas of manufacturing technology, product design and automation. The present conference with a focused theme on “GlobalTrends and Challenges in Design and Manufacturing” comes at an appropriate time when India and the whole world are going formajor expansion in Manufacturing Technology.

Manufacturing has benefited the world economy with recent developments in technology and management. Information andcommunication technologies, micro and nano technologies, computer applications in design, analysis, manufacturing, control anddecision making areas are in the forefront. Global competition with complex economic ramifications, increased awareness on theenvironmental implications has made the manufacturing highly challenging and significantly different among comparable fields. Apre-conference workshop on “Challenges in Micro and Nano Manufacturing: Indian Perspective in the Global Scenario” isproposed during December 11-12, 2010 to supplement the conference theme. One of the key indicators of technology maturity in anynational context is the significant presence of its products and variants in the global market place. The lack of ‘Advanced TechnologyProducts of Indian genre’ in the domain of mechanical engineering and associated fields warrants the dire necessity to gain a foot-hold and catch up with new and innovative technologies. The present conference aims at addressing this vital issue.CONFERENCE TOPICS1. Material Processing: Casting, Forming, Joining, Processing of non-metals, Composites and advanced materials, Surface

VISAKHAPATNAM THE CITY OF DESTINYVisakhapatnam flanked by the clean sprawling golden beaches on one side and the majestic easternghat mountain ranges on the otheris geographically located at an excellent vantage on the East coast between the two IITs, viz., IIT Kharagpur and IIT Madras.Visakhapatnam, one of the most rapidly expanding industrial cities with population spilling over 20 lakhs, was once ruled by theAndhra kings of Vengi, the Cholas and the Gangas. This port city is bound to keep you enthralled with its scenic beauty and cleanbeaches and more so the hospitality of the people. On a clear day, Visakhapatnam presents a very impressive view from the nearbyKhailashgiri hills. Visakhapatnam is the headquarter of Eastern Naval Command of Indian Navy. Located midway on Howrah andChennai railway line, the city of Visakhapatnam is well connected by direct links with Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkatta, Banglore,Hyderabad and other important places both by rail and air. During the month of December weather in Visakhapatnam will be verypleasant with average temperatures ranging between 20 to 270C and provides congenial atmosphere for fruitful deliberations at the3rd International and 24th AIMTDR Conference.
