About the Journal
International Journal of Mechanics and Design
International Journal of Mechanics and Design [2582-2896(e)]Â is a peer-reviewed hybrid open-access journal launched in 2015 that provides a forum for scholarly work dealing with mechanics. The purpose of the journal is to promote the recent advances that can create a lasting impact on ongoing research. From time to time journal will publish peer-reviewed papers that are research and development oriented and is of interest to the readers. Journal ensures that only good quality papers are published depending upon the originality and relevance of the paper.
