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.
•
Mono/multilayer functional coating processes.
• Continuum and subcontinuum process modeling and simulation.
•
Manufacturing process monitoring, control and automation.
• Tribology and wear issues relevant to manufacturing processes.
