Aims and Scope

Aim

The Asian Review of Mechanical Engineering (ARME) aims to advance scholarly knowledge, technological innovation, and professional practice across mechanical engineering and related engineering systems. The journal provides an international platform for rigorous theoretical, experimental, computational, methodological, and application-oriented research. It publishes studies contributing to the analysis, design, manufacture, operation, optimisation, reliability, maintenance, and sustainability of mechanical systems, processes, materials, and technologies. ARME encourages research addressing contemporary challenges in advanced manufacturing, thermal and fluid systems, intelligent machines, energy efficiency, sustainable engineering, materials, mobility, and computational mechanics.

The journal also welcomes digital engineering, artificial intelligence, smart manufacturing, and interdisciplinary technologies where they make a clear and substantive mechanical-engineering contribution. 

Scope of the Journal

ARME publishes original research articles, review articles, and case studies that make a substantive contribution to mechanical engineering knowledge, engineering design, manufacturing, energy systems, materials, or mechanical technology in areas including:

  • Mechanical design, machine design, engineering analysis, product development, and design optimisation
  • Solid mechanics, structural mechanics, mechanics of materials, fracture mechanics, and fatigue
  • Fluid mechanics, fluid machinery, turbomachinery, and computational fluid dynamics
  • Thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer, thermal engineering, refrigeration, and energy conversion
  • Manufacturing engineering, machining, forming, casting, joining, additive manufacturing, and advanced manufacturing technologies
  • Materials engineering, composites, polymers, metals, surface engineering, and mechanical behaviour of materials
  • Mechatronics, robotics, automation, autonomous systems, and intelligent mechanical systems
  • CAD, CAM, CAE, computer-integrated engineering, digital manufacturing, and engineering informatics
  • Renewable energy, conventional energy systems, energy efficiency, thermal-energy systems, and sustainable energy technologies
  • Automotive engineering, vehicle systems, electric and hybrid mobility, transportation, and mobility engineering
  • Vibration, acoustics, dynamics, noise control, condition monitoring, and structural health assessment
  • Tribology, friction, wear, lubrication, and surface technologies
  • Computational mechanics, finite-element methods, numerical modelling, simulation, optimisation, and multiscale modelling
  • Industrial engineering, production systems, operations engineering, maintenance engineering, and asset management
  • Reliability engineering, failure analysis, diagnostics, prognostics, and mechanical-system performance

  • Smart manufacturing, Industry 4.0, digital twins, cyber-physical production systems, and intelligent factories
  • Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data-driven methods applied to mechanical systems, manufacturing, maintenance, and design
  • Micro- and nanoscale mechanical systems, precision engineering, and emerging mechanical technologies
  • Interdisciplinary engineering technologies with demonstrable and substantive mechanical-engineering applications

Interdisciplinary Research

ARME welcomes interdisciplinary research where the principal contribution is clearly related to mechanical engineering, mechanical systems, manufacturing, thermal and fluid engineering, materials, energy, automotive engineering, or related mechanical technologies. Research integrating mechanical engineering with artificial intelligence, electronics, materials science, energy science, or other fields may be considered when the mechanical-engineering contribution is explicit and substantive.
