Description: The special edition on Machining, Cutting, Blanking, and Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) Processes highlights a broad spectrum of topics central to advanced manufacturing and material processing. It focuses on both experimental and numerical investigations aimed at enhancing the understanding of machining and plastic deformation mechanisms. Particular emphasis will be placed on accurate material characterisation and the formulation of robust constitutive models to predict material behaviour under extreme deformation conditions, such as those encountered in machining, cutting, and blanking. The edition also explores stress distribution in severe plastic deformation techniques such as burnishing and stir processing, and assesses their impact on mechanical performance. Critical aspects such as tool wear, frictional phenomena, and fracture mechanisms are also examined here. The book will be useful to those whose professional activities involve material processing in modern mechanical engineering.

Description: This special edition presents a collection of contributions addressing the formability of metallic materials, with particular attention to their capacity to undergo plastic deformation while minimising damage and defects in the final product. The mechanisms influencing forming processes, such as plastic flow localisation, fracture, and springback, are presented among other phenomena of interest. The contributions encompass experimental, theoretical, and numerical investigations aimed at advancing understanding of the interplay among material properties, mechanical and thermal loading conditions, and other environmental constraints that govern the formability of metallic materials. The edition will be of interest to many specialists in mechanical engineering.

Description: The aim of this special issue is to present recent developments and technological capabilities of additive manufacturing.
