Advances in Mechanical Engineering (AIME) is a JCR Ranked, peer-reviewed, open access journal which publishes a wide range of original research and review articles. The journal Editorial Board welcomes manuscripts in both fundamental and applied research areas, and encourages submissions which contribute novel and innovative insights to the field of mechanical engineering. All submitted articles considered suitable for AIME are subjected to rigorous peer review to ensure the highest levels of quality. Original papers which provide an important contribution to the development of mechanical engineering and report on significant developments in the field are encouraged. The review process is carried out as quickly as possible to minimise any delays in the online publication of articles. AIME aims to advance the understanding of mechanical engineering by providing a platform for the publication of unique contributions in the field of mechanical engineering across a variety of topics, including, but not limited to: ● Engineering Materials and Technology ● Biomedical Engineering ● Stress Analysis, Structures ● Mechanics of Materials and Solid Mechanics ● Fatigue ● Mechanisms and Machines ● Dynamics and Control ● Reliability ● Mechanics ● Mechatronics and Information Technology ● Vehicle Engineering ● Micro- and Nano- Mechanical Systems ● Fluid Mechanics ● Fuel and Combustion ● Aerodynamics ● Acoustics, Vibration and Noise ● Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer ● Composites ● Systems and Design ● Metallurgy ● Manufacture ● Metrology ● Surfaces and Interfaces ● Robotics and Automation ● Tribology ● Robotics and Rehabilitation ● Turbomachinery ● Smart Structures ● Combustion Engines ● Energy Harvesting ● Numerical Simulations ● Applied mathematical modelling ● Finite Element, Volume and Difference Methods ● Optimization ● Real Time and Time Delay Systems This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
