Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The manufacturing of sheet and bulk metal components has undergone significant computerization and industrialization. Researchers and industry continually explore state-of-the-art methods to develop cost-effective and efficient advanced forming solutions. This pursuit targets the enhancement of existing processes, ensuring ongoing advancements in productivity.
This Special Issue aims to focus on the most recent developments and trends in advanced sheet and bulk metal forming processes. Our goal is to highlight the latest state-of-the-art approaches that can be applied to advanced forming technology, as well as new solutions for the experimental characterization and numerical modelling of sheet and bulk formability, using different metallic alloys under general processing conditions.
The Special Issue will cover, but will not be limited to, the following topics:
- Designing and modelling of metal forming processes (e.g., stamping, deep drawing, roll forming, bending, forging , extrusion, rolling, etc);
- Formability, fracture, and fatigue: experiments, modelling, and numerical prediction;
- Identification of constitutive material models through inverse analysis and artificial intelligence (AI);
- Intelligent and emerging metal processing technologies;
- Forming process contact conditions;
- Mechanical performance of products.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
