- Computational Mechanics and Materials Modeling: Structural mechanics, constitutive behavior, viscoelasticity, polycrystal and microstructure modeling, parallel computing for large-scale mechanical simulation.
- Finite Element Analysis and Simulation: Three-dimensional finite element analysis, static analysis, isotropic rectangular plates, ANSYS and other FEA software, model validation, biomechanical analysis of implants and fracture fixation, diffusion modeling in multilayer packaging.
- Tribology and Lubrication: Lubricating oil tribology, anti-wear and extreme-pressure performance, anti-friction additives, tribo-performance testing, SEM micrograph and spectroscopy analysis of worn surfaces, micro-sensors for tribological monitoring.
- Thermal Engineering and High-Temperature Materials: Applied thermodynamics, Mo-Si-B alloys, superalloys, turbine blade analysis, non-stationary thermo-mechanical loads during turbine start-up and shut-down.
- Metal Forming and Process Modeling: Non-isothermal shape rolling, rigid thermo-viscoplastic analysis, process simulation.
- Active Shape Control and Adaptive Structures: Laminated structures, piezoelectric actuators, simulated annealing for shape optimization, noise suppression, deformation theory.
- Vibration and Control Engineering: Vibration analysis, motion and position control, robust control, control systems, fractional calculus, differential and integral equations for dynamic systems.
- Mechatronics and Robotics: Service robots, mobile robots, intelligent robots, robot kinematics, human–robot interaction, robot safety, manufacturing automation.
- Machine Design: Design of machine elements, computer-aided design and drafting, integrated design, design optimization.
The journal publishes original research articles, review articles, case studies, and short communications. Submissions must address a mechanical engineering problem through analysis, simulation, experiment, or design. Molecular biology, drug design, education policy research, and digital electronics without a mechanical application are out of scope. The journal serves researchers, mechanical, manufacturing, and design engineers, industrial R&D teams, and graduate students.
