Acknowledgments

The first author is thankful to his PhD students for their research leading to the contents of the book. They include Liu Lei, Chen Silu, Nguyen Hoang Tuan Minh, Liang Wenyu, and Zhang Yi.

The authors thank Dr. Teo Chek Sing and Tan Chee Siong for their assistance in the writing of the book. They also thank the National University of Singapore and Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology for their funding support. The editing process would not have been as smooth without the generous assistance of Laurie Schlags, Robin Lloyd-Starkes and Li Ming Leong.

Finally, the authors thank their families for their love and support.
