The 10th Annual ESAFORM Conference covers the multitude of disciplines related to material forming. The materials concerned include metals, polymers, ceramics, and their composites. Other materials, for example, biomaterials are also of interest. All traditional and new forming processes are relevant. A variety of techniques including theoretical analysis, experimental testing and numerical simulations will be used. A good mixture of fundamental approaches and applied science would be particularly welcomed. This year's conference features for the first time an ECCOMAS Thematic conference devoted to new advanced numerical strategies in forming simulation, which has been traditionally one of the mini-symposia of the conference.
