AIP Publishing and Nanjing University Announce New Journal Focused on Mechanical Engineering
AIP Publishing and Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics Unveil MechanoEngineering
AIP Publishing is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics aimed at publishing a new journal titled MechanoEngineering. This publication, dedicated to investigating mechanical influences on structures and systems, is set to begin accepting submissions on June 2, 2025, with its inaugural issue expected to be released in the first week of August.
The launch of MechanoEngineering presents an important opportunity to explore contemporary mechanical research, especially at a time when the field is rapidly evolving due to advancements in technology. According to Prof. Tian Jian Lu, the first editor-in-chief of the journal, the landscape of mechanics has significantly transformed over the last decade. He noted, "The rise of digital technology, along with enhanced computing capabilities and improvements in data fluidity, means that we need fresh perspectives and innovative approaches to tackle emerging challenges in the field."
Prof. Lu emphasized that MechanoEngineering is not just a journal but a crucial platform that aims to document pivotal shifts and revolutionary ideas within this discipline. Under his guidance, along with Co-Editors-in-Chief Prof. Vikram Deshpande from Cambridge University and Prof. Huajian Gao from Tsinghua University, an editorial committee featuring over 30 eminent researchers from leading academic institutions worldwide will steer the journal.
As the mechanical engineering domain rapidly advances, the journal aims to cover a range of topics, including materials science, robotics, and intelligent systems. With the integration of digital technology and AI advancements, MechanoEngineering seeks to push the boundaries of traditional mechanics, promoting innovative research and collaboration. The journal is particularly focused on mechanics in mobile, intelligent systems and the intersections of these areas with contemporary engineering challenges.
Dr. Penelope Lewis, Chief Publishing Officer at AIP Publishing, expressed her enthusiasm about the collaborative venture, noting, "We are thrilled to partner with Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics on this pioneering journal that will contribute to the evolution of mechanics on a global scale. MechanoEngineering stands as a testament to our commitment to empowering researchers and disseminating groundbreaking scientific knowledge."
MechanoEngineering is expected to foster an environment of innovation and creativity, driving forward-thinking discussions among the global mechanics community. By opening its doors to diverse research, the journal intends not only to spotlight traditional areas of mechanics but also to explore uncharted territories that are emerging from the convergence of mechanics and new technologies.
With a mission to revitalize the mechanics field through cutting-edge research, MechanoEngineering represents a significant investment in the future of mechanical engineering and technology. As scholars and researchers prepare to share their findings, this journal is poised to become an influential player in the field, enhancing the dialogue around emergent technologies in mechanics while honoring the historical significance of classical mechanics that have contributed to human progress over time.
