Advanced Manufacturing Technologies and Their Applications, Volume II

Dear Colleagues,

The manufacturing industry is currently experiencing a worldwide transformation from traditional manufacturing to advanced manufacturing under the 4th Industrial revolution (Industry 4.0), which features Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies, Big Data Analytics, Cloud Computing, Cyber Security, System Integration, Smart Robotics, Augmented Reality, and Additive Manufacturing and Simulations. This Special Issue is aiming to become a collection of high-quality articles contributed by both practitioners and researchers in the relevant fields of research on advanced manufacturing, from theory to applications. Topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to:

• Additive manufacturing (3D printing) of metals, polymers, ceramics and composites
• Fabrication and evaluation of novel engineering materials
• Advanced sensing technologies for process monitoring and real-time control
• Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and intelligent production systems
• Augmented and virtual reality for manufacturing
• Internet of things (IoT) and big data for manufacturing
• Smart robotics, control, and automation

We would like to sincerely invite you to submit your manuscripts to this Special Issue of Applied Sciences on “Advanced Manufacturing Technologies and Their Applications”, which fall within its scope and could be experimental and/or theoretical papers, technical notes, review papers, etc.

Thank you very much for your attention. I look forward to receiving your submissions.

Prof. Dr. Richard (Chunhui) Yang
Guest Editor
