International Journal of Material Forming

期刊简介：The Journal publishes and disseminates original research in the field of material forming. The research should constitute major achievements in the understanding, modeling or simulation of material forming processes. In this respect ‘forming’ implies a deliberate deformation of material.The journal establishes a platform of communication between engineers and scientists, covering all forming processes, including sheet forming, bulk forming, powder forming, forming in near-melt conditions (injection moulding, thixoforming, film blowing etc.), micro-forming, hydro-forming, thermo-forming, incremental forming etc. Other manufacturing technologies like machining and cutting can be included if the focus of the work is on plastic deformations.All materials (metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, glass, wood, fibre reinforced materials, materials in food processing, biomaterials, nano-materials, shape memory alloys etc.) and approaches (micro-macro modelling, thermo-mechanical modelling, numerical simulation including new and advanced numerical strategies, experimental analysis, inverse analysis, model identification, optimization, design and control of forming tools and machines, wear and friction, mechanical behavior and formability of materials etc.) are concerned.

【译文】该期刊发表和传播材料成形领域的原创研究。研究应构成对材料成形过程的理解、建模或模拟方面的重大成就。在这方面，“成形”意味着对材料的故意变形。该期刊为工程师和科学家之间建立了一个沟通平台，涵盖所有成形过程，包括板成形、体积成形、粉末成形、近熔状态下的成形（注塑、粘性成形、薄膜吹塑等）、微成形、水压成形、热成形、增量成形等。如果工作的重点是塑性变形，则可以包括其他制造技术，如加工和切割。所有材料（金属、陶瓷、聚合物、复合材料、玻璃、木材、纤维增强材料、食品加工材料、生物材料、纳米材料、形状记忆合金等）和所有方法（微观-宏观建模、热力学建模、包括新和先进数值策略的数值模拟、实验分析、逆分析、模型识别、优化、成形工具和机器的设计与控制、磨损和摩擦、材料的机械行为和成形性等）都受到关注。
