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 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 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.
