Research and Markets: Shape Casting, a Fourth International Symposium 2011 - From Filing and Feeding Systems, to Process Modeling and the Machinability of Castings(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/c0b4ff/shape_casting_fou) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new book "Shape Casting: Fourth International Symposium 2011" to their offering. In a career spanning almost six decades, Prof. John T. Berry has made significant contributions towards building the understanding of solidification and process-structure-property relationships in shaped castings. Celebrating his contributions, the Fourth International Shape Casting Symposium, which took place at the 2011 TMS Annual Meeting covered the following topics: filling and feeding systems; process modeling for shaped castings; structure-property relationships; performance of shaped castings; and machinability of castings. Key Topics Covered: -- Modeling. - The History of Casting Process Simulation (C. Heisser, E. Flender, and J. Stern). - State of the Art Review of Modelling Entrainment Defects in the Shape Casting Process (C. Reilly, N. Green, and M.
