Preface

Abstract

The development of any contrived device, structure or product is conceivable due to material science; hence, it is thrust area of research. Engineers play a vital role in sustainable development by scheduling and execution that preserve natural resources, cost-effectiveness and support human and natural environment. Materials and Energy segments are continuously demanded by Science and Technology. Necessity of state-of-the-art materials for aerospace, automobile and various industries worldwide made many opportunities. Therefore, novel materials which are environmental friendly, inexpensive and energy efficient should get developed worldwide. Innovations and developments without sustainability have no significance in present eras. Therefore, thought process should be directed towards sustainability.We are honoured to state that International Conference on Sustainable Innovations in Civil and Mechanical Engineering, ICSICME-2020 will benefit to expand realistic and achievable Innovations in the arena of materials of Civil and Mechanical Engineering which in the long run aimed to bring together scientists, researchers, technologists and industrialists across the world to exchange their views and ideas for better possible scientific collaborations in the domain of interest. This will also help to expand the network and exchange knowledge for future collaborations. The scientific programme of the conference includes keynote speech, plenary and invited talks along with papers in the form of oral and poster presentations. We hope that they would have a very successful conference and vastly benefited by its deliberations.It gives us immense pleasure to thank the International, National and Technical Advisory committees as well as reviewer for their generous cooperation and advice. We wish to express our sincere thanks for participating in ICSICME-2020 and sharing your valuable ideas in the field. We are grateful to media partners Conal Conference Alerts and EasyChair for wide promotional of ICSICME-2020. We acknowledge the Publisher IOP Publishing Ltd., UK for journal publication support extended to ICSICME-2020. We also express sincere thanks to all sponsors and well-wishers for their valued support and co-operation. Also, we are very much thankful to Ministry of External Affairs, Govt. of India, New Delhi, for granting political clearance to organize conference.We would also like to acknowledge the dedication of all the teaching, nonteaching staff of SKN Sinhgad College of Engineering, Pandharpur, India. We once again thank everyone for their co-operation, support directly and indirectly in making ICSICME-2020 success.Thank you.Dr. Kailash J. KarandeDr. Sampat G. DeshmukhDr. Swanand G.
