Call for papers: Special issue on “Digital Material Machining and Process Quality Control: A Chinese Perspective”

International Journal of Materials and Product Technology (IJMPT)

Call For papers: Special issue on “Digital Material Machining and Process Quality Control: A Chinese Perspective”

Since 2005, a national basic research programme, entitled “Fundamental Researches on Digital Manufacturing”, has been running in China. Seven projects have been set up under the framework of this programme. Huazhong University of Science and Technology is in charge of this large programme. Research teams from six leading universities in China are working together to solve not only technical problems but also scientific problems concerning digital manufacturing. The ultimate objective is to create a set of theoretic methodologies, enabling technologies, key hardware, and software toolkits in order to use digital manufacturing technology in practice.

With the help of this first special issue, we will report our current research progress on digital material machining and process quality control. Here, the research outcome related to the process quality control is specifically highlighted, taken mainly from the work done by Xi’an Jiaotong University.

In addition, we also invite paper submissions from other Chinese scholars. Furthermore, we take this opportunity to provide a forum for professionals, academics, researchers and engineers around the world interested in studying and using the digital manufacturing, to exchange information with each other.

For more information, subject coverage, notes for intending authors, submission dates and contact information, see the Journal Call for papers website.
