Mechanical, Manufacturing & Industrial Engineering

Research in mechanical systems, manufacturing, industrial engineering, design, thermal-fluid science, optimization, and intelligent production, with emphasis on rigorous modelling, experimentation, computation, or technology innovation.

Scope Guidance

What We Publish

Submissions in this area should make a clear scientific, engineering, computational, analytical, or interdisciplinary contribution. Suitable research includes:

01

Mechanical design, dynamics, vibration, tribology, mechanics, and machine systems.

02

Thermal-fluid engineering, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, combustion, and thermo-mechanical systems.

03

CAD/CAM, additive manufacturing, machining, forming, joining, and advanced production methods.

04

Smart manufacturing, digital manufacturing, digital twins, predictive maintenance, and industrial AI.

05

Industrial engineering, operations optimization, production planning, reliability, and maintenance engineering.

06

Multiphysics simulation, design optimization, materials-mechanics integration, and engineering informatics.

Illustrative Examples

Example Research Directions

The examples below illustrate the type and level of research that can fit this area. They are examples, not a closed list.

Physics-informed predictive maintenance for rotating machinery
Digital-twin-assisted optimization of a manufacturing cell
Thermal performance modelling of advanced heat-management systems
Multi-objective topology optimization for lightweight engineering components
Data-driven quality prediction in intelligent manufacturing
Experimental and numerical analysis of coupled thermo-fluid systems
Scope Boundaries

Generally Not Suitable

×

Routine component design without validation or research novelty.

×

Industrial case descriptions that contain no transferable scientific or engineering insight.

×

Pure maintenance logs, production reports, or commercial product comparisons.

Important: A manuscript is assessed by its actual research contribution and scope fit, not only by its subject label. Borderline interdisciplinary work may still be suitable when the scientific or technological contribution is clear.
