Power and energy system division holds International Conference on Power Engineering (ICOPE) collaborating with American Society of Mechanical Engineers and Chinese Society of Power Engineering by yearly. The 16th ICOPE (ICOPE-2023) had been held in Kyoto in May, 2023 hosted by JSME, co-located with ICONE30. ICOPE covers wide field related on power engineering except for nuclear power. Those are large scale thermal power system, natural energy including hydro, solar, wind, geothermal, and so on, and distributed energy system including combined heat and power, fuel cell. And, energy supply and utilization system including fuel supply, energy demand levelling using energy storage, heat pump system, waste heat recovery. The focus of ICONE is on the technical state-of-the-art and the status of nuclear power around the world. This special issue invites the papers with the contents presented in the ICOPE-2023 or ICONE30 after polishing based on the discussion in the conference.

Recent Progress in Research on Mechanics of Materials and Computational Mechanics by Young Researchers

Vol.11　No.4 (August 15,2024)
Submission starting date: August 10, 2023
Submission Deadline: November 30, 2023

1. Focus

In current fast-changing environment surrounding mechanical engineering, active research and fresh ideas brought by young researchers are highly expected. Thus, the 2023 M&M/CMD Symposium for Young Researchers is held on 7-9 August 2023 in Kanazawa, Ishikawa, Japan, by the Materials & Mechanics and Computational Mechanics Divisions, and the special issue “Recent Progress in Research on Mechanics of Materials and Computational Mechanics by Young Researchers” will be published in the Mechanical Engineering Journal. In this special issue, we invite the papers on a wide range of research topics based on the presentations given in the above-mentioned symposium; not only those related to mechanics of materials, such as solid mechanics, fatigue, fracture, mechanical properties evaluation, and experimental/numerical approaches for conventional and advanced materials, but also computational mechanics, including thermal analysis, fluid analysis, optimization methods and multiscale analysis.

Purport of Special Issue
This is the call for papers for “Special Issue on Advanced Technology in Experimental Mechanics” of Mechanical Engineering Journal published by JSME.
Recently, experimental mechanics is the field to create new technologies to measure stress, strain and fracture of solid materials, consequently. It is expected to play a central role for the security of social infrastructures. Under this circumstances, ATEM-iDICs '23, The Advanced Technology in Experimental Mechanics and International DIC Society Joint Conference 2023, was held at Awara, Fukui, Japan, during Oct. 9-12, 2023. In this time, it was held as a joint conference with International DIC Society (iDICs).
The Special Issue on Advanced Technology in Experimental Mechanics is published as the one of Mechanical Engineering Journal. Every participant of ATEM-iDICs '23 is invited to submit the paper based on their extended abstract of ATEM-iDICs '23. The papers are published through the standard review process. The publication fee will be discounted.
