Mechanisms and Machine Science

This book gathers the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of computational engineering, as presented by leading international researchers and engineers at the 31st International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences (ICCES), held in Changsha, China, on May 25-29, 2025. ICCES covers all aspects of applied sciences and engineering: theoretical, analytical, computational, and experimental studies and solutions of problems in the physical, chemical, biological, mechanical, electrical, and mathematical sciences. As such, the book discusses highly diverse topics, including composites; bioengineering and biomechanics; geotechnical engineering; offshore and arctic engineering; multi-scale and multi-physics fluid engineering; structural integrity and longevity; materials design and simulation; and computer modeling methods in engineering. The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, highlight numerous exciting ideas that will spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaborations.
