Springer Recent Trends in Mechanical Engineering: Select Proceedings of ICIME 2020

This book consists of peer-reviewed proceedings from the International Conference on Innovations in Mechanical Engineering (ICIME 2020). The contents cover latest research in all major areas of mechanical engineering, and are broadly divided into five parts: (i) thermal engineering, (ii) design and optimization, (iii) production and industrial engineering, (iv) materials science and metallurgy, and (v) multidisciplinary topics. Different aspects of designing, modeling, manufacturing, optimizing, and processing are discussed in the context of emerging applications. Given the range of topics covered, this book can be useful for students, researchers as well as professionals.
