Professor Maurice Touratier, Editor-in-Chief, IJFP, ENSAM, Paris, France.

Objectives

The need for production efficiency and quality in industry necessitates using the very best approaches to model and simulate forming processes. IJFP aims to provide a forum for those wishing to optimize these forming processes, thereby avoiding expensive and time-consuming purely experimental approaches.

IJFP covers all forming processes, all materials are considered.

They should be based on physical, computational or experimental approaches. A combination of these is particularly welcome.

Contributions may cover:

• characterisation of engineering parameters: shape of the parts, forces on tools, energy consumption, wear;
• design of forming processes, optimal design of tools, and forming conditions;
• prediction of final macroscopic structure and material properties due to a specific material forming operation;
• new process developments...

Manuscripts are restricted to a maximum of 25 pages, including figures, tables and appendices.

The editing team is composed of:

• M. Touratier, France, Editor in Chief
• J.L. Chenot, France, N. Phan-Thien, Australia, S. Piccarolo, Italy, R.H. Wagoner, USA, Associate Editors

The IJFP is an on-line journal available at Lavoisier publisher.
