Submission Status: Closed

Summary and scope
Advancement in dissimilar materials joining technologies has improved assembled components' integrity and performance leading to the development of advanced manufacturing techniques that provide extraordinary benefits such as increased productivity, component cost reduction, synergistic mixes of materials, unique joint properties, and improved joint efficiency. The main focus of this Special Issue addresses the growing research in optimization techniques and their applications. To reduce the waste of time, a numerical-based analysis is recommended.

The Special Issue is dedicated to advanced welding analysis, such as:

  • Computational-based analysis of the welded joints.
  • Optimization of welding parameters
  • Cold metal transfer (CMT)
  • Nanoparticles in different types of welding
  • Underwater welding
  • Topics related to the welding and joining, including metallurgical characterization, mechanical properties, and computational base analysis in extreme environments.

The following topics are of interest:

  • Friction stir welding/Processing
  • Cold metal transfer (CMT) joining
  • Process parameters optimization
  • Wear characterization of welded joints
  • Fracture analysis of welded joints
  • Metallurgical Characterization of welded joints 
  • Underwater welding
  • Welding with nanoparticles
  • Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) 
  • Analysis of welded joints.

Submission guidelines
All papers must be prepared in accordance with the Instructions for Authors (this opens in a new tab). Authors should submit through the online submission site (this opens in a new tab) and select article type “SI -Recent Advances in the Computational-Based Analysis of Metal Joining". 

Submitted papers should present original, unpublished work, relevant to one of the topics of the Special Issue. All submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of relevance, significance of contribution, technical quality, scholarship, and quality of presentation, by at least two independent reviewers. It is the policy of the journal that no submission, or substantially overlapping submission, be published or be under review at another journal or conference at any time during the review process. Final decisions on all papers are made by the Editor-in-Chief.
