Description
The influence of data in everyday life is becoming increasingly important. Of course, its influence in the field of manufacturing could not be different. In this special issue we address important aspects dealing with the influence of digital technologies in manufacturing, with an emphasis on the development of digital twins for materials and processes. These aspects range from basic developments to advanced applications to different processes: we cover traditional processes such as forging, as well as innovative ones, such as state-of-the-art joining-by-forming techniques, 3D printing, etc. Basic aspects of the management of important quantities of data are also addressed, but with an eye to the scarce data limit, which is the most frequent situation in engineering applications.
How to submit
Each submitted paper will be assigned at least to three reviewers and a minimum of 2 reviewer’s reports will be required to label the paper as “required review completed” and making a decision on it. If the evaluations of the reviewers are conflicting the paper will be assigned to a third reviewer. The reviewers will be selected among the experts in the fields of forming processes and sustainable manufacturing. The peer review system (either Single anonymized review or double anonymized review) of IJMF will be used.
All submissions must be original and may not be under review by another publisher. Interested authors should consult the journal’s “Submission Guidelines” at https://www.springer.com/journal/12289/submission-guidelines (this opens in a new tab).
Articles can be submitted through Editorial Manager: https://www.editorialmanager.com/ijfo/default.aspx (this opens in a new tab)
The special issue is created as submission questionnaire in the system. When you submit your paper you will be asked if your paper belongs to a special issue. If you answer yes, a pull down menu prompts up where you can select the title of the special issue to which you are submitting your paper.
Please indicate in your cover letter that you wish your manuscript to be considered for the special issue on "Manufacturing Empowered by Digital Technologies and Twins". All submitted papers will be reviewed as soon as they are received. Accepted papers are published Online First until the complete Special Issue is published.

He is editor and associate editor of about 10 international journals. He received many distinctions, among them the Academic Palms, the French Order of Merit, … in 2018 the Doctorate Honoris Causa at the University of Zaragoza (Spain) and in 2019 the Silver medal from the French CNRS.
Elías Cueto is a professor of continuum mechanics at the University of Zaragoza. His research is devoted to the development of advanced numerical strategies for complex phenomena. In particular, in the last years, he has worked in model order reduction techniques and real-time simulation for forming processes and augmented reality applications. His work has been recognized with the J. C. Simo award of the Spanish Society of Numerical Methods in Engineering, the European Scientific Association of Material Forming (ESAFORM) Scientific Prize, and the O.C. Zienkiewicz prize of the European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences, ECCOMAS, among others. He is a fellow of the EAMBES and IACM societies.
Benjamin Klusemann is currently professor at the Institute for Production Technology and Systems at the Leuphana University Luneburg ¨ as well as the head of the department “Solid State Materials Processing” at Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon. His current research interests include in particular different solid state materials processing techniques, such as friction stir welding, refill friction stir welding, friction surfacing and friction extrusion among others. Furthermore, he works on micromechanics, machine learning and process simulations, all with particular focus on experimental-modeling correlations. He received a number of awards, including the Richard-von-Mises-Prize of GAMM 2017, the ESAFORM scientific award 2019. He currently holds an ERC Consolidator Grant 2020 with the title “Modelling Assisted Solid State Materials Development and Additive Manufacturing“ (MA.D.AM).
