Description: The 29th International ESAFORM Conference on Material Forming (ESAFORM 2026, Thessaloniki, Greece, from 27 to 29 April 2026) is a joint scientific event of the oldest and most prestigious Mechanical Engineering academic schools in Greece, the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the National Technical University of Athens, respectively. The conference publication contains sixteent chapters the topicaly related with 16 Mini-Symposia around the following topics: additive manufacturing, composites forming processes, extrusion and drawing, forging and rolling, formability of metallic materials, friction and wear in metal forming, incremental and sheet metal forming, innovative joining by forming technologies, optimization and inverse analysis in forming, machining, cutting and severe plastic deformation, material behaviour modelling, new and advanced numerical strategies for material forming, non-conventional processes, polymer processing and thermo-mechanical properties, sustainability in material forming, and advanced metal casting. The edition will be useful for a wide range of specialists in structural materials forming processes.

Description: This special edition focuses on contributions that detail the results of new developments and provide a deeper understanding of incremental and sheet material forming processes. Research concerns the design of novel processes, in-process measurement techniques, innovative tooling, methods for the analysis and modelling of friction phenomena and methods for the optimisation, robust design and control of incremental and sheet forming processes, etc. The edition will be helpful for specialists in mechanical engineering.

Description: The processing of test results, modelling, and optimisation of technological parameters for complex material forming processes require the development of numerical methods that ensure reliability and computational efficiency. Articles collected in this special edition are devoted to innovation in this field, especially the use of artificial intelligence technologies, which is of utmost importance today.

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.

The presented articles provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of developments in materials, energy, robotics and automation, serving as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and practitioners dedicated to advancing sustainable and innovative engineering solutions.

Description: The special edition is dedicated to analysing research results of properties and processing technologies of structural metals used in modern machinery and will be useful to many specialists in this area.

Description:

This book represents the selected papers from the 28th Concrete Days held May 19-20, 2022, in Prague, Czech Republic. It comprises the results of scientific investigation and engineering solutions in the area of construction and is focused on the properties of various modern concrete and concrete structures.

The reader will find in the book the analysis of the properties and behaviour of concrete, various admixtures, building composites and other materials, as well as studies of various building structures with metal and composite elements, their mechanical properties and fatigue and damage processes. Some issues of technical supervision and sustainable development in the construction sector are also observed. This book will be helpful not only to engineers but also to academic researchers and students involved in activities related to the construction industry.

Description:

This journal issue contains papers submitted at the 8th International Conference on Material Science and Engineering (ICMSE 2021) held in Wuhan, China, on Dec.18-20, 2021. Collected papers present results of novel advances in materials science and applied technologies.

Description: This volume holds selected papers of the 19th International Conference on Sheet Metal 2021, which provided an excellent platform for the exchange of knowledge for scientists and industry representatives from all over the world. The conference addressed current research and future trends concerning topics related to sheet metals. Besides innovative mechanical joining technologies and the latest developments concerning bonding and welding, the wide-ranging field of sheet metal forming was one of the major issues of the conference. Moreover, SheMet 2021 dealt with research activities regarding incremental forming. As manufacturing technologies are closely associated with the materials to be processed, characterization also represented a key topic.
