Special Journal Issue on Design for Advanced Manufacturing

The ASME Journal of Mechanical Design is currently accepting manuscripts for a special issue focusing on the topic “Design for Advanced Manufacturing.” Authors interested in having their manuscripts included in the special issue, to be published in December 2022, should submit their manuscripts by April 1, 2022.
 
Design and manufacturing are intimately coupled in the conceptualization and realization of products. Engineering design is regularly a key component of innovation and successful product development, yet promising designs that are very costly or challenging to manufacture may never be realized in practice. Advancement of manufacturing technologies tends to lower barriers to realization and expands design freedom, but may also introduce unique restrictions on the design space.

New design methods and design tools are therefore needed to help engineers navigate the novel design space created by advanced manufacturing. Examples of opportunities created by advanced manufacturing include design of multifunctional, multi-material, multi-physics and/or multiscale components and systems, while such designs must take into account manufacturability, materials evolution through the manufacturing process, and manufacturing induced imperfections. This special issue aims to report state-of-the-art design research supporting advanced manufacturing such as additive manufacturing, hybrid manufacturing, advanced CNC machining, improved injection molding, and advanced sheet metal forming processes.

Manuscripts to be included in the special issue should concentrate on a range of topics including, but not limited to, design for additive manufacturing; design for manufacturable hollow structures, cellular structures, multiscale structures, multi-material structures and composite structures; design optimization methods such as topology optimization, size optimization, and shape optimization to support advanced manufacturing; design cognition to support designers in adopting advanced manufacturing technologies; design for heterogenous materials systems using hybrid manufacturing; geometric modeling to support design of complex artifacts for advanced manufacturing; uncertainty analysis and design for mitigating the impact of manufacturing imperfections; design for reducing manufacturing and life cycle cost such as incorporating cost analysis and optimization at design stages; integration of manufacturing processing effects into design methodologies; design principles and guidelines for advance manufacturing; and education of design for advanced manufacturing.

Manuscripts should be submitted electronically to the journal by April 1, 2022, via Journals Connect at journaltool.asme.org. Authors who have an account should log in and select “Submit Paper” at the bottom of the page. Authors without an account should select “Submissions” and follow the steps. At the Paper Submittal page, authors should select “ASME Journal of Mechanical Design” and then select the special issue “Design for Advanced Manufacturing.”
 
Papers received after April 1, 2022, may still be considered for the special issue if time and space permits.  Early submissions to this special issue once accepted will be published online first.
 
The guest editors for the special issue are Yaoyao Fiona Zhao, McGill University, Canada, yaoyao.zhao@mcgill.ca; Julian Norato, University of Connecticut, USA, julian.norato@uconn.edu; Stefanie Elgeti, Technical University of Vienna, Austria, elgeti@ilsb.tuwien.ac.at; Christopher McComb, Carnegie Mellon University, USA, ccm@cmu.edu; Jamie Guest, Johns Hopkins University, USA, jkguest@jhu.edu; and Deepesh Toshniwal, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands, d.toshniwal@tudelft.nl.
