José Machado - Innovations in Mechanical Engineering

Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering (LNME) publishes the latest developments in Mechanical Engineeringquickly, informally and with high quality. Original research reported in proceedings and post-proceedings represents the core of LNME. Volumes published in LNME embrace all aspects, subfields and new challenges of mechanical engineering. Topics in the series include:

This volume of Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering gathers selected papers presented at the First International Scientific Conference (ICIE2021), held in Guimares, Portugal, on 2830 June 2021. The conference was organized by the School of Engineering of University of Minho, throughout MEtRICs and Algoritmi Research Centres.

The organizers received 213 contributions from 24 countries around the world. After a thorough peer review process, the committee accepted 126 papers written by 412 authors from 18 countries for the conference proceedings (acceptance rate of 59%), which were organized in three volumes of the Springer Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering.

This volume, with the title Innovations in Mechanical Engineering, specifically reports and presents methods and technologies for modelling, simulation and design of mechanical systems, with a special focus on research spanning from engineering design and testing of medical devices, evaluation of new materials and composites, for different industrial applications, fatigue and stress analysis of mechanical structures, and application of new tools such as 3D printing and CAE 3D models, and decision support systems. Last but not least, it analyses important issues proposing a good balance of theoretical and practical aspects. This book consists of 44 chapters, prepared by 156 authors from 11 countries.
