International Journal Of Material Forming

Journal Title：International Journal Of Material Forming

The Journal publishes and disseminates original research in the field of material forming. The research should constitute major achievements in the understanding, modeling or simulation of material forming processes. In this respect ‘forming’ implies a deliberate deformation of material.

The journal establishes a platform of communication between engineers and scientists, covering all forming processes, including sheet forming, bulk forming, powder forming, forming in near-melt conditions (injection moulding, thixoforming, film blowing etc.), micro-forming, hydro-forming, thermo-forming, incremental forming etc. Other manufacturing technologies like machining and cutting can be included if the focus of the work is on plastic deformations.

All materials (metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, glass, wood, fibre reinforced materials, materials in food processing, biomaterials, nano-materials, shape memory alloys etc.) and approaches (micro-macro modelling, thermo-mechanical modelling, numerical simulation including new and advanced numerical strategies, experimental analysis, inverse analysis, model identification, optimization, design and control of forming tools and machines, wear and friction, mechanical behavior and formability of materials etc.) are concerned.

本期刊发表和传播材料成型领域的原创研究成果。研究成果应在理解、建模或模拟材料成型过程方面取得重大成就。在这方面，“成型”意味着材料的有意变形。

该期刊建立了一个工程师和科学家之间的交流平台，涵盖所有成型工艺，包括板材成型、体积成型、粉末成型、近熔条件下的成型（注塑、触变成形、吹膜等）、微成型、液压成型、热成型、增量成型等。如果工作的重点是塑性变形，则可以包括机械加工和切割等其他制造技术。

涉及所有材料（金属、陶瓷、聚合物、复合材料、玻璃、木材、纤维增强材料、食品加工材料、生物材料、纳米材料、形状记忆合金等）和方法（微观宏观建模、热机械建模、数值模拟（包括新的和先进的数值策略）、实验分析、逆分析、模型识别、优化、成型工具和机器的设计和控制、磨损和摩擦、材料的机械行为和可成型性等）。

International Journal Of Material Forming创刊于2008年，由Springer Paris出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖ENGINEERING, MANUFACTURING - MATERIALS SCIENCE, MULTIDISCIPLINARY全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度 12周，或约稿 ，影响因子指数2.6，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
