Advanced Manufacturing Science and Technology in Aerospace
The aerospace industry is an area of science and technology that integrates knowledge from physics, chemistry, material science, mechanics, sensors, information, and beyond. It leads the development of the industrial chain and is of great significance to the economy and national defense. Since materials and manufacturing are critical to the development of the aerospace industry, there are increasing requirements on these critical components. Materials are developed to be lighter, stronger, and perform better in high temperatures and other harsh working environments. In addition, the critical components are designed to be multifunctional, which generally renders more complex structures. Due to the excellent properties of aerospace materials (ceramic/metal matrix composites, CFRP, intermetallic compound, ceramics, etc.) and the complex structures (thin-wall, large aspect ratio, micro and nano feature size, etc.) of the parts and components, the manufacturing of the materials encounters challenges associated with efficiency, accuracy, and surface integrity. It is unfortunate that there is still a lack of solution for manufacturing, which obstructs the industry applications of the materials. This special issue will be dedicated to the recent progress in tackling these challenges and other pressing issues in aeronautics and astronautics manufacturing.
The following topics are highly encouraged, but not limited to:
- Fabrication theories and technologies for aerospace materials
- High performance machining tools and equipment
- Surface integrity control in precision machining of aerospace materials
- Advanced manufacturing of complex structures on nano-/micro-/macro- scales
- Smart micro/nano devices with advanced materials
- Nondestructive testing and detection methods
The exploration of surfaces, interfaces, nanostructures and thin films using:
- Aerospace materials
- Manufacturing Science and Technology
- Surface integrity
- Smart device
- Nondestructive testing
