Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) is a core mechanical process driving irreversible material damage and performance degradation of metal components under alternating loads and harsh service environments. It is the primary inducement of fatigue fracture, friction wear, and sudden failure of key bearing components in mining machinery, marine drilling rigs, bridge engineering, and oil & gas equipment, with critical engineering safety implications.
Research on SPD-induced material damage highly relies on advanced computer modelling, numerical simulation, and data-driven intelligent analysis. Despite recent progress, critical challenges remain in high-precision coupled modelling of SPD and material damage under multi-field conditions, quantitative characterization of SPD-induced tribo-fatigue damage, machine learning-based micro-damage identification, and service safety assessment of engineering components.
This special issue aims to collect the latest innovative research results and advanced technical solutions in the field of computer modelling for SPD induced material damage. Both fundamental theory-focused studies and application-driven engineering research are highly welcome, especially original papers with in-depth exploration of damage mechanisms, novel computer modelling methods, intelligent damage identification technology, and emerging engineering applications in mechanical equipment safety.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to the following:
· Material Damage Evolution Simulation
· Tribo-fatigue Damage Modelling
· Machine Learning
· Numerical Simulation
· Multi-scale Damage Modelling
· Fatigue Life Prediction
· Finite Element Modelling
· Intelligent Damage Detection
