Proceedings of the 61st International Conference of Machine Design Departments (ICMD 2020)

Conference name: Proceedings of the 61st International Conference of Machine Design Departments (ICMD 2020)
Date: 2 December 2021
Location: Košice, Slovakia (Virtual)
Website: https://2020.icmd.cz/

This book has been created on the basis of contributions to the 61st International Conference of Machine Design Departments (ICMD 2020) which has been presented in virtual parallel sessions on date December 2, 2021. ICMD 2020 mainly focuses on sharing professional experience and discussing new theoretical and practical findings. It is to identify the current situation, exchange experience and establish and strengthen relationships between universities, companies and scientists from the field of machine design. The main aim of the conference was to provide an international forum where experts, researchers, engineers and industrial practitioners, managers and PhD students could meet, share their experiences and present the results of their efforts in the broad field of machine design and related fields.

The book has several topics which focus on new knowledge of machine design, tribology, hydraulics, fluid mechanisms, engineering analyses, modern material and technology, product innovation, experimental methods and measuring, nanotechnology, biomechanics and other related topics. The authors presented new design methods of machine parts and more complex assemblies with the help of numerical methods such as FEM and DEM. Research, measurements and studies of new materials, including composites for energy-efficient constructions, are also described. The book also includes solutions and results useful for optimizing and innovating complex design problems in various industries.

The long history shows that meeting and exchange of views of experts from universities, research institutions and companies contribute significantly to problems solving in a scientific field of machine design.

We firmly believe the tradition of ICMD will continue in the coming years.
