Joint Special Issue on Advances in Design and Manufacturing for Sustainability

Journal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering  
Journal of Mechanical Design 

Journal of Mechanical Design icon
This special issue is a joint effort between the ASME Manufacturing Engineering Division (MED) and the Design Engineering Division (DED) as part of a collaboration to advance design and manufacturing research in sustainability. As the need grows for methodologies and tools capable of supporting sustainable systems, this collection welcomes new scientific approaches, data-driven techniques, informatics solutions, and case studies at the intersection of sustainability, design, and manufacturing.

Journal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering icon
The call focuses on the main challenges the design and manufacturing communities face regarding sustainability and seeks to identify emerging research trends as well as current industry practices for integrating sustainability principles into the design and implementation of engineered systems and processes. Recent advances and future directions along the design-manufacturing continuum are welcome, including submissions on topics such as design decisions, manufacturing process development, manufacturing systems optimization, supply chain integration, sustainable energy systems, product user interaction, and product end-of-life analysis.

Topic Areas
