JMES The International Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Sciences is an international, open access, and a peer-review journal for publication of original work on a broad spectrum of mechanical engineering. JMES publishes original research articles, reviews, and letters to the editor. The journal aims to present important and recent research for academics, scientists, engineers, and practitioners. The topics covered include, but not limited to, energy conversion (wind, turbine, and power plant), mechanical structure and design (solid mechanics, machine design), manufacturing (welding, industrial robotics, metal forming), advanced materials (composites, nanotube, metal foam, ceramics, polymer), metallurgy (corrosion, non-destructive testing, heat treatment, metal casting), heat transfer, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, mechatronics and controls, advanced energy storage and devices (fuel cell, electric vehicle, battery), numerical modeling (CFD, FEM, BEM).
