Preface

Abstract

The entire world is still under the influence of the virulent pandemic COVID-19. Unfortunately, each of us is affected one way or another. Our conference, the 6th International Conference on Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering (ICMAE 2020) was not an exception. In December we held our conference online and although the same it was a great success and we, as other conferences, continued in our sharing research success. This change to virtual was achieved by using Tencent VooV software.Each keynote speech lasted 40 minutes, invited speech 30 minutes and authors presentation 15 minutes. Each presentation was included with questions and answers. that offered a chat function though the software used to increase participation. The success and prosperity of the conference is reflected high level of the papers received. ICMAE 2020 became an effective communication platform for all the participants over the world and unlike some that claim international reach this conference was truly international.ICMAE 2020 was organized by Hong Kong Society of Mechanical Engineers. This conference aims to provide a platform for researchers and engineers to share their ideas, recent developments, and successful practices in Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering. More than 40 participants attended the conference, they were from USA, UK, Italy, Russia, Colombia, Canada, India, Malaysia, Japan, China and more. Three renowned speakers given speeches about their latest research and reports. They are: Prof. Dan Zhang from York University, Canada; Prof. Ian McAndrew from Capitol Technology University, USA; Prof. Andrew Rae from University of the Highlands and Islands, UK. The conference also had 2 technical session and 1 poster sessions.The conference proceeding is a compilation of the accepted papers and represent an interesting outcome of the conference. This book covers 2 chapters: 1. Aeronautical Engineering; 2. Mechanical Engineering.We would like to acknowledge all of those who supported ICMAE 2020. Each individual andinstitutional help were very important for the success of this conference. Especially we wouldlike to thank the committee chairs, committee members and reviewers, for their tremendouscontribution in conference organization and peer review of the papers.We sincerely hope that ICMAE 2020 will be a forum for excellent discussions that will putforward new ideas and promote collaborative research and support researchers as they taketheir work forward. We are sure that the proceedings will serve as an important researchsource of references and the knowledge, which will lead to not only scientific and engineeringprogress but also other new products and processes. Finally, we hope to meet you all in personat our next conference in 2021.
