Abstract

The International Conference on Applications and Design in Mechanical Engineering 2021 (ICADME 2021) was held virtually on 23 August 2019, due to the pandemic Covid-19. ICADME 2021 was organized by the Mechanical Engineering Programme, under the purview of Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Technology, Universiti Malaysia Perlis.The ICADME 2021 aims to provide a platform for participants from diverse field of Mechanical Engineering backgrounds to exchange ideas and findings to promote cooperation, networking as well as knowledge sharing in both engineering practice and research in higher education. The conference includes the fields of i) Material Science & Engineering, ii) Design, Manufacturing & Ergonomics, iii) Energy & Thermofluids as well as iv) Biomechanics & Rehabilitation. The conference received more than 100 papers from Malaysia and other countries over the world. After a rigorous peer-review process, 84 papers were accepted. The accepted papers that focused on theory, applications, design and experimental studies relevant to mechanical engineering fields were invited to present in this conference.We want to express our gratitude to all reviewers, both local and international, for their time and effort in reviewing the papers. Their feedbacks to the authors have been excellent and useful to ensure the high quality of papers for the conference. Our sincere thanks also go to all sponsors for their generosity. Last but not least, we would like to thank the organizing committee members for their hard work, cooperation and insights in ensuring the success of this conference. Editors Assoc. Prof. Ir.
