Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite scientific and practical advances in the science of manufacturing processes, many issues in this field are still not well understood. One of the industrial and research branches in this field is thermomechanical (TM) processes. With the TM method, final materials or products can be produced with targeted mechanical, chemical, thermal, electrical or metallurgical properties. With the TM process, the properties of the raw material can be greatly improved. Accordingly, the development of TM production processes or the use of new materials and products with this method are still developing and will have a bright future. Various types of production methods are performed with the TM process, including forming, welding, microstructural changes to produce nanostructures in bulk materials, as well as additive manufacturing. Stress, heat transfer, strain, strain rate, phase transformations, changes in microstructure, and changes in material state and properties are examples of fundamental topics that can be studied around TM process development for the use of new materials with TM processes. These factors make the simulation and computational and numerical modeling of TM manufacturing processing very challenging.
Therefore, the aim of this Special Issue is to publish new and novel research focusing on simulation, modeling, and computational methods of TM processes and materials behavior during TM processes. Testing of all classes of materials during TM manufacturing from atomistic to macroscopic length scales (structure–property relationships) are welcome. Constitutive, Monte Carlo, and cellular automaton modeling with verification is of interest as well.
Papers on the utilization of various numerical methods to simulate TM manufacturing processes such as solid-state joining, solid-state additive manufacturing, thermomechanical properties of additive manufacturing parts, forging, hot forming, ECAP, etc. are especially welcome.
