Advances in Manufacturing and Mechanics of Materials

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.
