Advanced Manufacturing Processes VIII

This book offers a timely snapshot of innovative research and developments at the interface between engineering design, manufacturing, materials engineering, and intelligent and sustainable systems. It covers various engineering applications, such as mechanical and mechatronic systems, space-constrained warehouse operations, unmanned ground platforms, and agricultural machinery. It highlights advances in machining, additive manufacturing, grinding, and process optimization, as well as topics in metrology, diagnostics, tribology, and surface engineering. It also focuses on optimization methods, mathematical modeling, and computer and numerical simulation for mechanical systems and manufacturing processes. In turn, chapters investigate advanced materials, coatings, friction and wear, structural inhomogeneity, residual stress, and non-destructive testing. Gathering the best papers presented at the 8th Grabchenko’s International Conference on Advanced Manufacturing Processes (InterPartner-2026), held in Odesa, Ukraine, on September 7–11, 2026, this book offers extensive information on trends in engineering design, manufacturing and materials engineering, covering intelligent, sustainable and resilient engineering systems, and data-driven engineering, among other topics. It also aims at fostering international and interdisciplinary research and cooperation, offering a bridge between the academic and industrial sectors.
