Opening date for submissions: November 1, 2023 Deadline for submissions: May 1, 2024
Description Manuscripts presenting and discussing the state of the art and the research of mathematical formulations, numerical methods, computational techniques and industrial applications on Computational Modeling of Manufacturing and Large Deformation Processes based on particle and/or meshless methods. The goal is to make a step forward in the formulation and solution of both fundamental and real-life problems with a multidisciplinary vision accounting for all the complex phenomena involved in the physical description of the problem.
Please indicate that you wish your manuscript to be considered for the special issue on "Computational modeling of manufacturing processes using particle and meshless methods". All submitted papers will be reviewed as soon as they are received.
Submitted papers should present original, unpublished work, relevant to one of the topics of the Special Issue. All papers will be evaluated on the basis of relevance, significance of contribution, technical quality, scholarship, and quality of presentation by at least two 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 Editors-in-Chief.
Accepted papers are published Online First until the complete Special Issue is published.
Guest Editor Biographies Josep Maria Carbonell-Puigbó obtained his MSc degree in Civil Engineering from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Spain, in 2004 and his PhD in Structural Mechanics in 2009 from the same university. After that, he was employed by the Centre Internacional de Mètodes Numerics a l'Enginyeria (CIMNE) as an assistant researcher and by the UPC as an assistant lecturer. He obtained a position as aggregate professor at the University of Vic-Universitat Central de Catalunya (UVic-UCC) in 2019. He is currently associate research professor at CIMNE and aggregate professor at UVic-UCC. His research interests cover continuum and computational mechanics, contact methods, constitutive modeling, geotechnics, manufacturing and particle techniques for solid and fluid simulation. He has contributed significantly to the development of PFEM for solid mechanics and has applied it to the modeling of metal cutting problems and geomechanical penetration problems.
Juan Manuel Rodriguez-Prieto is a Full Professor at the School of Applied Sciences and Engineering at EAFIT University. He received a B.Sc in Mechanical Enginering at Los Andes University; and M.Sc. in Engineering at Los Andes University and a Ph.D in Computational Mechanics at Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña. His current research interest includes computational solid mechanics, computational contact mechanics and particle-based methods.
Eduardo Fernandez-Sánchez is a research assistant at the aerospace and mechanical engineering department of the University of Liège, Belgium. He obtained his PhD degree in engineering sciences in 2020, with a thesis addressing new topology optimization methods for additive manufacturing. Prior to his PhD degree, he obtained an MSc degree in mechanical engineering at the University of Concepción, Chile. There, Dr. Fernandez worked as a research engineer in projects involving the research and development of composites materials reinforced with fibers and nanoparticles. His current research areas include simulation of free surface fluid flows using particle methods, simulation of fluid-structure interactions, phase change, and the development of new topology optimization methods for additive manufacturing.
Jean-Philippe Ponthot is a Full Professor at the Department of Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering, chair of Computational Mechanics at the University of Liège, Belgium. He was graduated as a Ph-D at the University of Liège and was then a Research fellow with Prof. Ted Belytschko at Northwestern University, Chicago, Illinois (1996). He was President of the Belgian National Committee for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (2014-2018) and is currently vice-president of SKYWIN, the Belgian aerospace cluster. His research activities deal with numerical methods (FEM, DEM, PFEM) development of thermomechanical problems involving large strains in a multiphysics context. The main domains of applications are metal forming, including additive manufacturing, crash and impact of composite and metallic structures as well as biomechanics. He published more than 300 contributions in international journals and conference proceedings.
