Abstract

The International Review of Mechanical Engineering (IREME) is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes original theoretical and applied papers on all fields of mechanics. The topics to be covered include, but are not limited to: kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies, vehicle system dynamics, theory of machines and mechanisms, vibration and balancing of machine parts, stability of mechanical systems, computational mechanics, advanced materials and mechanics of materials and structures, plasticity, hydromechanics, aerodynamics, aeroelasticity, biomechanics, geomechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, refrigeration, fluid mechanics, energy conversion and management, micromechanics, nanomechanics, controlled mechanical systems, robotics, mechatronics, combustion theory and modelling, turbomachinery, manufacturing processes, new technology processes, non-destructive tests and evaluation, new and important applications and trends.IREME also publishes letters to the Editor and research notes which discuss new research, or research in progress in any of the above thematic areas.The International Review of Mechanical Engineering (IREME) currently has an acceptance rate of 35%. The average time between submission and final decision is 38 days and the average time between acceptance and publication is 21 days.
