Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study on the design of machinery or technology in general, in the field of agriculture, both in the production process and in the treatment of the final product, is becoming increasingly important. This Special Issue focuses its attention on the use of engineering graphics techniques and engineering analysis in the design and construction of machinery, engines, and technological devices involved in the production process. The case studies are very broad and can cover various engineering disciplines such as agroforestry engineering, construction engineering, project engineering, mechanical engineering, and automation and robotic engineering or architecture, among others.
In particular, research on the development of machinery, engines, and technological devices, as well as historical inventions, both from an engineering and architectural point of view, in the olive, cereal, and grape sectors are welcome. This Special Issue invites researchers to submit original research papers and review articles related to any discipline in which theoretical or practical issues of engineering graphics and computer-aided engineering are considered. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
Engineering graphics;
Computer-aided design;
Geometric modeling;
Computer animation;
Virtual reality;
Augmented reality;
Multimedia;
3D printing applications;
Computer-aided engineering;
Industrial heritage;
Industrial architecture;
Ancient artifacts (historical inventions).
