Advances in Manufacturing and Mechanics of Materials

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Topic aims to provide a multidisciplinary platform for recent advances in the processing, fabrication, and mechanical behavior of materials across various manufacturing domains. We welcome original research and review articles on topics including, but not limited to, the following:

• Novel manufacturing processes (e.g., additive manufacturing, joining technologies, surface engineering);
• Microstructure–property relationships in metallic, ceramic, polymeric, and composite materials;
• Process–structure–performance modeling and simulation;
• Mechanics and failure analysis under complex loading conditions;
• Integration of data-driven approaches (AI/ML) in materials design and process optimization;
• Sustainable and energy-efficient approaches in advanced manufacturing.

This Topic encourages collaboration between materials scientists, mechanical engineers, and manufacturing experts to accelerate innovation in both academic and industrial applications.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
