Call for papers/Topics



 



Topics of Interest for Submission include, but are Not Limited to:



1. Smart Manufacturing & Industry 4.0



This area focuses on the "digitalization" of the factory floor.





  • Digital Twins: Creating virtual replicas of physical assets to simulate performance and predict failures.




  • Industrial IoT (IIoT): Sensor networks for real-time machine telemetry and environmental monitoring.




  • Predictive Maintenance: Using AI to forecast equipment failure, reducing downtime by up to 70%.




  • Edge Computing: Processing data locally on machines to reduce latency in safety-critical loops.




  • Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS): Seamless integration between computational algorithms and physical components.





2. Advanced Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing)



Moving beyond prototyping into full-scale production of complex parts.





  • Metal Additive Manufacturing: Techniques like Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and Electron Beam Melting (EBM).




  • 4D Printing: Materials that change shape or properties over time in response to external stimuli (heat, light, water).




  • Hybrid Manufacturing: Combining additive processes with traditional CNC machining in a single setup.




  • Large-Scale Additive Manufacturing (LSAM): 3D printing for construction and large aerospace structures.




  • Micro/Nano-AM: High-precision printing at the molecular level for electronics and medical implants.





3. Robotics & Autonomous Systems



The focus has shifted from "caged" industrial robots to collaborative and intelligent machines.





  • Collaborative Robots (Cobots): Robots designed to work safely alongside human operators without safety barriers.




  • Soft Robotics: Using flexible, bio-inspired materials for delicate handling in food or medical industries.




  • Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs): Self-navigating robots for warehouse logistics and material handling.




  • AI-Driven Swarm Robotics: Multiple robots coordinating to perform complex assembly tasks.




  • Haptic Feedback Systems: Advanced sensors that allow robots to "feel" textures and grip strength.





4. AI-Augmented Design & Simulation



Engineering software is no longer just a drawing tool; it is now a design partner.





  • Generative Design: AI software that "grows" optimized shapes based on weight and stress constraints.




  • Topology Optimization: Removing unnecessary material from a part while maintaining structural integrity.




  • Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD): Advanced simulation of airflow for EVs and aerospace efficiency.




  • Virtual & Augmented Reality (VR/AR): Using "Digital Doppelgangers" for remote maintenance and immersive design reviews.




  • Multiphysics Simulation: Simultaneous analysis of heat, stress, and fluid dynamics in a single model.





5. Sustainable & Green Engineering



Driven by "Net-Zero" goals, this is the fastest-growing sector in mechanical research.





  • Circular Economy Manufacturing: Designing products for 100% recyclability and disassembly.




  • Green Hydrogen Powertrains: Mechanical systems for hydrogen storage and fuel cell propulsion.




  • Electric Vehicle (EV) Infrastructure: Advanced battery thermal management systems and high-efficiency motors.




  • Carbon Capture Technologies: Mechanical systems designed to scrub $CO_2$ directly from industrial exhaust.




  • Self-Healing Materials: Polymers and metals that can repair micro-cracks autonomously, extending product life.





6. Materials Science & Nanotechnology



The development of "Super-Materials" with tailored properties.





  • Nanocomposites: Integrating carbon nanotubes or graphene to create ultra-lightweight, high-strength parts.




  • Metamaterials: Artificially engineered structures with properties not found in nature (e.g., negative refractive index).




  • High-Entropy Alloys (HEAs): Metals designed for extreme environments like jet engines or nuclear reactors.




  • Bio-inspired Materials: Mimicking natural structures (like bone or nacre) for superior impact resistance.
