Preface

Abstract

This volume presents up-to-date contributions in the field of mechanical engineering. The following topics are covered: Machine Design; Tribology, Materials and Surface Engineering; Mechatronics; Computer Aided Design; Mechanical Vibrations; Theory of Mechanisms and Machinery; Robotics; Mechanics of Deformable Bodies; Automotives; Engine and Transmission; Road Safety; Applied Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, and Renewable Energy; Thermal Systems; Technologies in Agriculture and Food Processing. The results reported in this volume should interest researchers, scientists, industrial experts, teachers and students in the field of mechanical engineering related to design, control and applications.The authors discussed their results at The 9th International Conference on Advanced Concepts in mechanical Engineering (ACME 2020), held in Iasi, Romania, on June 04-05, 2020. The contributions had rigorously reviewed and selected by independent reviewers, members of the International Scientific Committee of this conference. ACME 2020 was organized by Mechanical Engineering Faculty, at “Gheorghe Asachi” Technical University of Iasi, Romania, under the aegis of Romanian Ministry of National Education and Scientific Research, Romanian Academy of Technical Sciences, Academy of Romanian Scientists, in the partnership with American University of Madaba, Jordan, SIAR - Society of Automotive Engineers of Romania, ARoTMM - Romanian Association for Mechanisms and Machine Science, SROMECA – Romanian Association of Mechatronics, ART – Romanian Tribology Association, SRT – Romanian Society of Thermodynamics, AFCR – Romanian Association for Refrigeration and Cryogenics Engineers.List of Organizer, Conference Chairman, Honorary Committee, Scientific Committee, Organizing Committee, Topics and History And Aim.
