Description: The main topics of this special edition are: mechanical fastening operations; joints based on friction welding; hybrid joining processes; innovative joining processes, including the forming or pre-forming of the materials to be joined; computational methods for joining process simulation; applications of inverse analysis to material characterisation in joining conditions, 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: 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 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.

Description: This book is a collection of the selected peer-reviewed papers presented at the 2025 6th Research, Invention, and Innovation Congress (RI2C), organised by the Science and Technology Research Institute (STRI), King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok, during August 19-20, 2025. The selected articles delve into various facets of recent materials science and processing technologies and will be helpful to engineers and researchers in the fields of engineering mentioned.

Description: The edition presents the conference proceedings of the 15th European Conference on Superplastic Forming (EUROSPF 2024), held in the Basque Country, France, on 11-13 September 2024. The EUROSPF is focused on all aspects related to the superplasticity of materials and superplastic forming processes. Since 2001, it has been annually organised by various universities and institutions of France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Liechtenstein, and Italy. The Conference aims to serve as a reference and meeting point for discussing the latest research results on superplasticity and superplastic forming of structural materials, providing participants with the opportunity to showcase their current achievements and promote future collaborations.

Description: This book contains the full text papers abstracts of which were presented at THERMEC 2025, the 13th International Conference on Processing and Manufacturing of Advanced Materials, held between June 30 and July 04, 2025, in Tours, France, under the co-sponsorship of the University of Tours and the University of Lille and also under the auspices of professional organizations from Japan, Korea, France, Italy, The Netherlands, Germany, Brazil, Austria, India, and Canada.
