Call for papers: Advanced Theory and Technologies for Design, Manufacturing and Materials

Call for papers: Advanced Theory and Technologies for Design, Manufacturing and Materials

A special issue of International Journal of Materials and Product Technology

The purpose of this special issue is to publish recent research outputs on product engineering employing advanced design theory, manufacturing technologies and materials technologies. By advanced concepts, we mean non-conventional techniques. In last few decades, both academic literature and practice have put growing emphasis on the importance of advanced design, manufacturing and materials as a key factor in establishing durable competitive advantages in product engineering. The objective of the special issue is to provide a means for the publication and interchange of information, on an international basis, on all aspects of advanced theory and technologies for design, manufacturing and materials.

Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
  • Design theory and method in product engineering
  • Manufacturing technologies in product engineering
  • Numerical methods, experiments and measurements in product engineering
  • MEMS, nanotechnology, micro-packaging technology and materials
  • Advanced design theory, manufacturing technologies and materials for structural integrity
  • Physical mechanisms, chemical mechanisms and materials in product engineering
  • Civil and construction engineering structural integrity and materials
  • Product development
Important Date
Deadline for submission: 30 May 2008
