Processing, Analysis, Modelling and Mechanics of Materials and Structures

Dear Colleagues,

This collection of articles includes original research articles, review articles and short memos covering the topic of the processing, analysis, modelling and mechanics of materials and structures. The main focus of the contributed papers may be either on material machining or forming processes, or on the design of machines that enable such processes. The combined approach, which helps to better understand the nature of the analysed process and its influence on the machine design, is highly desirable, but not required. Additionally, in order to follow modern needs and trends in technological development, research papers related to mechatronics and bioengineering are encouraged. Due to the variety of engineering materials, forming and machining methods and structures of mechanisms and machines used nowadays, this topic covers a wide range of studies. We invite you to publish papers presenting the application of either analytical, numerical or experimental methods to solve scientific and engineering problems. We also encourage research papers describing calculations using the finite element method to simulate the behaviour of the processed materials or to perform the optimization process, to either find effective design of the machine or mechatronic device or to select effective mechanical properties.
