25th PRAGUE International Conference on Manufacturing & Automobile Engineering: PMAE-26

Call for papers/Topics

Topics of Interest for Submission include, but are Not Limited to:

1. Manufacturing Engineering

Focuses on the transformation of raw materials into finished products through various processes and systems.

Core Manufacturing Processes

• Casting and Molding: Sand casting, investment casting, die casting, and injection molding.

• Forming and Shaping: Forging, rolling, extrusion, drawing, and sheet metal working.

• Machining (Subtractive): Turning, milling, drilling, grinding, and CNC programming.

• Joining Processes: Arc welding, TIG/MIG welding, friction stir welding, brazing, and adhesive bonding.

• Additive Manufacturing: 3D printing (SLA, FDM, SLS), rapid prototyping, and laser sintering.

Production Systems & Management

• Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM): CAD/CAM integration and flexible manufacturing systems (FMS).

• Lean Manufacturing: Six Sigma, Just-in-Time (JIT), Kaizen, and waste reduction.

• Metrology & Quality Control: Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM), statistical process control (SPC), and non-destructive testing (NDT).

• Industrial Robotics: Automation, end-of-arm tooling, and programmable logic controllers (PLC).

2. Automobile Engineering

Focuses on the design, development, and production of vehicles and their subsystems.

Vehicle Architecture & Power Units

• Internal Combustion Engines (ICE): Thermodynamics, fuel injection systems, cooling, and lubrication.

• Drivetrain & Transmission: Manual and automatic transmissions, CVT, differential gears, and clutches.

• Chassis Engineering: Frame design, suspension systems (MacPherson, Multi-link), and steering geometry.

• Braking Systems: ABS (Anti-lock Braking), EBD, regenerative braking, and disc/drum mechanics.

Automotive Electronics & Safety

• Electrical Systems: ECU (Engine Control Units), sensors, wiring harnesses, and infotainment.

• Safety Engineering: Crashworthiness, airbag deployment systems, and crumple zone design.

• NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness): Acoustic insulation and structural vibration analysis.

3. Advanced & Emerging Subtopics

The intersection of both fields where modern innovation occurs.
