Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
New materials and new processing techniques have been of importance for promoting human society, especially in an era where high-tech industries are becoming a vital measurement of a nation's competitiveness and sustainable development, they also have been the core driving force for vehicle, ship, aerospace and other traditional manufacturing industries.
Hot forming is the latest manufacturing technology, combining the traditional heat treatment technology and the cold stamping technology, which has drawn universal attention from the national industrial policy, industrial circles and academia. It presents broad development prospects and long-term vitality. The numerical simulation method has become an indispensable and important tool for the successful application of hot forming technology in complex industrial products. Nowadays, hot forming is mainly used in the automotive industry, but this technology can be expected to be widely used in other industries, especially in shipbuilding, high-speed train and civil construction. Thus, this Special issue welcomes articles devoted to these industrial fields.
Papers that employ the symmetry or asymmetry concept in their methodologies in the fields of Hot Forming and Numerical Simulation are welcomed. Articles and reviews devoted to the theoretical foundations, associated numerical simulation methods and their applications for the hot forming of metal material are also welcome. Last but not the least, submissions devoted to different aspects of hot forming and numerical simulation are encouraged.
Please note that all submitted papers must be within the general scope of the Symmetry journal.
