Book Description
Buzz is a Yuppie Boston lawyer, whose wit is as sharp as his Mont Blanc pen. Ally is his career-savvy interior-designer wife - intelligent, gorgeous, and quick as a whip. Their worlds collide only once a year when the Boston Designers' Annual Show House competition descends upon them, and Buzz will do all he can to stay out of Ally's way until the barrage of chintz and silk has subsided. This year, though, when the Show House is opened for the designers' preview, two most unpleasant surprises are uncovered: one decorator is discovered murdered and another found comatose from a violent attack. When a seemingly innocent suspect is charged with the crimes, Buzz takes on his defense and must solve the mystery to save his client. In the process, he encounters fabric scandals, love triangles, and power struggles of the decorative kind - not to mention a colorful cast of characters and the occasional design tip that will have you reeling with laughter - and reupholstering, too!

Book Description
“Discerning cozy mystery fans who delight in well-developed characters, rich detail, and a smart plotline will find that Kathleen Bridge’s A Design to Die For is their cup of tea!” —Ellery Adams, New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Montauk’s first annual Designer Showhouse was meant to be a collaborative event, so decorator Meg Barrett can only despair at the group of cutthroat designers scheming to sabotage each other on the project, not to mention the oddball collection of ghost hunters slinking around to investigate a supposedly haunted cottage. But when one of the owners of the showhouse is found murdered on the rocky beach below, Meg suddenly finds herself clashing with local police because of evidence that points to her as a prime suspect. Desperate to clear her name and track down the real culprit, Meg discovers that many of her fellow designers despised the victim for his unscrupulous business dealings, while others were speculating about his extramarital affairs. And as more secrets emerge about both the deceased and the many outsiders who have come together for the showhouse, Meg realizes she’ll have to decipher a murky pattern of clues to escape the killer’s deadly designs on her . . . Includes scrumptious recipes and vintage decorating tips! Praise for the Hamptons Home & Garden Mysteries: “A delightful sneak peek into life in the Hamptons, with intricate plotting and a likeable, down-to-earth protagonist. A promising start to a promising series.” —Suspense Magazine on Better Homes and Corpses “An excellent read.” —RT Book Reviews on Hearse and Gardens “Ghostal Living is a marvelously entertaining tale of revenge, murder, quirky characters—and disappearing books! With a clever protagonist, wonderful details of life in the Hamptons, and plot twists on top of plot twists, Kathleen Bridge will have mystery readers clamoring for more.” —Kate Carlisle, New York Times bestselling author

Sheet Metal Forming Processes and Die Design
Author: Vukota Boljanovic
Publisher: Industrial Press Inc.
ISBN: 9780831131821
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
By an engineer with decades of practical manufacturing experience, this book is a complete modern guide to sheet metal forming processes and die design - still the most commonly used methodology for the mass-production manufacture of aircraft, automobiles, and complex high-precision parts. It illustrates several different approaches to this intricate field by taking the reader through the "hows" and "whys" of product analysis, as well as the techniques for blanking, punching, bending, deep drawing, stretching, material economy, strip design, movement of metal during stamping, and tooling. While concentrating on simple, applicable engineering methods rather than complex numerical techniques, this practical reference makes it easier for readers to understand the subject by using numerous illustrations, tables, and charts. Emphasizes the influence of materials as an aid to understanding manufacturing processes and operations. Features the essential mathematical formulas and calculations needed for various die operations and performance evaluation. Shows the comparative advantages and liabilities for each manufacturing process and operation. Offers a complete picture of the knowledge and skills needed for the effective design of dies for sheet-metal forming processes highlighted with illustrative examples. Provides properties and typical applications of selected tool and die materials for various die parts.

COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN OF GATING SYSTEM FOR A DIE-CASTING DIE
Author: Dr. Chandan Deep Singh
Publisher: BookRix
ISBN: 3743856239
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 135
Book Description
Design of a die-casting die is a critical activity for its manufacturing and further downstream activities. Further, in design of a die-casting die, activities like cavity design, cavity layout and design of gating system are essential components. Design of gating system for a die-casting die is dependent upon a number of parameters which are influenced by part design and die-casting alloy. Gating system design takes much time of the die-casting expert since it requires lot of manual input and a number of iterations to finalize the design. This requires a good knowledge of die-casting process, making this activity completely dependent on the user. In modern day industry lot of CAD/CAM tools are being applied for design, development and manufacturing of a die-casting die. However, dependency on a die-casting expert throughout design and manufacturing of die-casting die makes it a quite lengthy process. Gating system design being one of the major activities in die design also takes much time. Therefore, it would be quite beneficial to automate the activity of the gating system design. This work is about computer aided design of gating system for die-casting die. Proposed system takes CAD file of the die-casting part as input and uses die-casting process knowledge to determine different parameters for the gating system. Designs of the components of the gating system like runner, gate and overflow have been attempted. A feature library has been proposed as a part of this work which together with parametric design of the gating system generates CAD model of the components of the gating system. The system has been tested on a number of industrial parts and results found are quite encouraging. The system would go a long way in bridging the gap between designing and manufacturing of die-casting.
