Aims and Scope
The SAE International Journal of Materials and Manufacturing publishes peer-reviewed, authoritative, and in-depth research in the areas of materials, design, testing, and manufacturing related to mobility and transportation. In addition to analytical findings, the journal addresses integration and implementation of scientific and engineering practices that advance the state of the art and benefit society. The journal presents and promotes wide-ranging research on the following areas:

• Materials—such as materials development, analysis, modeling, and testing (including ferrous and non-ferrous materials such as plastic, composites, elastomers, casting materials, and additive manufacturing; coatings; welding/joints/fastenings; and tribology/bearings/lubricants)
• Design—such as model-based system engineering, computer-aided engineering analysis/design process, reliability design/analysis, and optimization (including durability/fatigue/life cycle, crashworthiness and light weighting, forming, failure analysis, composites, multibody dynamics, computational gas and fluid dynamics, multi-discipline interaction, microstructure-mechanics-based technologies, reliability/robustness, uncertainty/model validation and verification, and multidisciplinary optimization)
• Testing—such as duty cycle data acquisition and target setting techniques, accelerated life test, vibration shaker test, real time simulation test, and test planning, execution, and analysis (including non-destructive and destructive test methods)
• Manufacturing—such as manufacturing systems, processes, simulations, and methodologies (including forming, joining, assembling, lean manufacturing, agile manufacturing, hybrid lean-agile manufacturing, and supply chain)

This journal is a member of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics). The journal’s publication processes and ethics policies follow COPE guidelines.

Editorial Board

Dr. Yung-Li Lee, FCA USA, LLC (retired)
Dr. Yung-Li Lee was formerly a Senior Fellow in Durability at Stellantis (or FCA US LLC, the legal name of the Stellantis member-entity). He was with Chrysler since 1988, and was responsible for facilitating the development and implementation of state-of-the-art durability technologies for product designs, analysis, and testing before retiring in 2023. He is also a Fellow of Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and an Adjunct Professor in Mechanical Engineering of the Oakland University in Michigan. He received both M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Structural Engineering from University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Dr. Lee is the Editor-in-Chief of the SAE International Journal of Materials and Manufacturing. He was the recipient of the following awards: 2020 Ernst Gaßner Award from Fraunhofer LBF, 2017 SAE International Leader Citation Award, and 2012 SAE Henry Ford II Distinguished Award. He has co-authored two fatigue textbooks and published more than 100 peer-reviewed publications.

Mark E. Barkey, Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics, The University of Alabama, USA
Professor Barkey is a long-standing Editorial Board member of the SAE International Journal of Materials & Manufacturing. He is the Chair and a Professor of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics at the University of Alabama. He has been conducting research projects for the automotive and aerospace industries for over three decades. His areas of expertise include material characterization, fatigue analysis, and structural durability and reliability. Before joining the University of Alabama, he worked as a Senior Engineer in the Fatigue Synthesis and Analysis group at the General Motors Mid-Size Car Division.
