Journal of Manufacturing Processes

Manufacturing is undergoing major transformation due to the unforeseen challenges arising from the current trend of miniaturization, the emergence of new materials and the growing interaction between biologists and engineers to learn more from nature and living objects.Traditionally, a "top-down" approach has been used in manufacturing. Recently, engineers and scientists have begun exploring "bottom-up" approaches for manufacturing today's highly complex products. Further, these emerging processes are aimed to improve process efficiency and product quality.The aim of the Journal of Manufacturing Processes (JMP) is to exchange current and future directions of manufacturing processes research, development and implementation, and to publish archival scholarly literature with a view to advancing state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and encouraging innovation for developing new and efficient processes. The journal will also publish from other research communities for rapid communication of innovative new concepts. Special-topic issues on emerging technologies and invited papers will also be published.Papers relevant to the scope of JMP include, but are not limited to, the following areas:? Meso/micro/nano fabrication, including imprint lithography. ? Advanced manufacturing processes, including mechanical, chemical and thermal processes. ? Welding, joining and assembly at micro and macro scales. ? Rapid prototyping, rapid manufacturing and repair, stereolithography and other 3-D fabrication techniques that can use optical projection. ? Advanced embossing, casting, forming and molding processes at all scales. ? Continuum and subcontinuum process modeling and simulation. ? Manufacturing process monitoring, control and automation. ? Tribology and wear issues relevant to manufacturing processes.

由于当前微型化趋势、新材料的出现以及生物学家和工程师之间越来越多的相互作用，制造业正在经历重大变革，以从自然界和生物中学习更多知识。传统上，制造业采用“自上而下”的方法。最近，工程师和科学家已经开始探索“自下而上”的方法来制造当今高度复杂的产品。此外，这些新兴工艺旨在提高工艺效率和产品质量。《制造过程杂志》（JMP）的目的是交流制造过程研究、开发和实施的当前和未来方向，出版学术文献档案，以期推进最先进的制造过程，鼓励创新以开发新的和高效的工艺。该杂志还将从其他研究团体出版，以快速传播创新的新概念。还将出版关于新兴技术和受邀论文的专题问题。与JMP范围相关的文件包括但不限于以下方面：?中/微/纳米制造，包括压印光刻。?先进的制造工艺，包括机械、化学和热工艺。?在微观和宏观尺度上焊接、连接和组装。?快速成型、快速制造和维修、立体光刻和其他可以使用光学投影的三维制造技术。?先进的压花、铸造、成型和成型工艺。?连续和次连续过程建模与仿真。?制造过程监控、控制和自动化。?与制造工艺相关的摩擦学和磨损问题。
