Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The MECHANICAL ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS sponsored by IFToMM is a forum that regularly brings together researchers and practical engineers in the field of mechanical engineering working at universities, research centers and in industry. With its cross-thematic program and broad geographical coverage, it represents an excellent networking platform that facilitates contact and promotes collaboration between scientists and engineers from different countries. In addition to the traditional IFToMM topics that focus on theoretical and applied research of mechanisms and machines, numerical methods and related software solutions as well as contributions aimed at practical/industrial applications are particularly welcome. Submissions are also encouraged considering one or more phases of the machine development life cycle: design, simulation, testing and manufacturing. Although the focus is on the technical quality characteristics of considered machines and mechanical systems (such as precision, load capacity, performance, etc.), aspects like economic efficiency, legal compliance, environmental impact, etc., will also be considered. The exhibition that will accompany the conference for the first time will offer a good opportunity to show the engineering solutions implemented in practice, to advertise and to promote engineering products, and to disseminate information on activities of universities, research centers, and industrial companies.
The conference MES- 2025 is supported by IFToMM (the International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science; MMS) (https://iftomm-world.org/), with activities in the areas of Mechanical Engineering and Machine Science. It was founded in 1969 and is driven today by the fourth generation of IFToMMists, working in MMS disciplines related to different machines such as Robotics and Mechatronics, Engines and Powertrains, Transportation Machinery, Turbomachinery, Linkages and Mechanical Controls.
Deadlines for file manuscript submission and Peer-Review Process
All submitted papers that meet the criteria of originality and quality will be blind peer-reviewed for the publication in the journal. The papers must be revised and extended (in the contents, editing and English) from the conference version prior to submission to the journal Machines. Five papers, among the ten invited by the guest editors, will be published free of charge if accepted.
The special issue will consider only papers coming from conference papers as invited by the Guest Editors.
The papers must be adequately written according to journal guidelines Machines | Instructions for Authors.
Once the papers are submitted, the review process will be handled through the MDPI web system for the journal. There is no limitations on the number of pages and figures.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Machines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
