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: The widespread use of composite materials, given relatively low development and manufacturing costs, creates significant demand for scientific knowledge and computational tools for their manufacturing. The mechanical behaviour of composite parts in service is dominated by fiber orientation and density, which in turn are determined by the forming process. Hence, predicting in-service performance requires a full understanding of, and preferably a prediction of, the complex material behaviour during manufacturing. The presented special edition will be helpful to researchers and practitioners who work with composite materials.

Description: The aim of this special issue is to present recent developments and technological capabilities of additive manufacturing. Pre-processing, in-situ processing, and post-processing are important stages that impact the final properties of the produced parts. Experimental results, numerical modelling methods, data analytics, and optimisation of additive manufacturing processes are considered in this edition. The book will be helpful to researchers and practitioners in additive technologies.

Description: The wide applications of high-level composite materials at affordable development and manufacturing costs create significant demand for scientific research and computational methods to analyse properties in composite manufacturing. The mechanical behaviour of composite parts in service is dominated by fiber orientation and density, which in turn are determined by the forming process. In this case, predicting in-service performance of finished products requires a full understanding of, and preferably a prediction of, the complex material behaviour during manufacturing. The presented special issue covers these and other issues arising in the development, production, and application of modern composite materials and will be useful to many scientists and engineers from the mechanical engineering industry.
