Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).The special topic volume communicates the latest progress and research results of new theory, new technology, method, equipment and so on in Engineering Technology, and to grasp the updated technological and research trends in internationally. The major topics covered by the special volumes include Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies, Control, Automation and Detection Systems, Advanced Design Technology, Optimization and Modeling.In 80 invited and peer-reviewed papers, mechanical and other engineers describe their recent and current research and results in advanced materials and manufacturing technologies; control, automation, and detection systems; and advanced design technology, optimization, and modeling. The topics include model analysis and numerical solutions in cable drilling systems, a modular adaptable design platform for non-standard waste detection equipment, an approach to extracting weak signals based on empirical mode decomposition and stochastic resonance, dynamic fuzzy reliability analysis of mechanical components with small samples of load, and the numerical simulation of nonlinear sloshing in a two-dimensional vertically moving container.
