The purpose of the International Conference on Mechanical Engineering – Ideas, Innovations & Initiatives (ICMEI3-2024) is to bring together people from academia and industry from around the globe to present and discuss challenges, recent advancements, and research in the areas of Mechanical Engineering with an emphasis to the topics of Mechanics of Materials. This conference will also serve as a platform for establishing an environment that fosters the exchange of ideas and information. Young and budding engineers and scholars will have a chance to gain exposure to latest developments in the areas of recent advancements in mechanical engineering. The keynote presentation and invited talks will be delivered by speakers from leading Indian and International academic and industrial establishments with extensive expertise in the focus areas.

Prospective faculty members, researchers, students, and participants from industry are invited to submit their original research work and recent advancements, in the areas of Mechanical Engineering. The paper should be on the prescribed template including abstract of maximum 250 words and 5 keywords. Authors are requested to limit the similarity index to 20%. The received manuscripts will be reviewed by technical committee. All papers accepted for the conference will be provided to the participants in electronic format during the conference along with book of abstracts.

Selected papers from the conference will be published by Springer as a proceedings book volume. Springer will conduct quality checks on the accepted papers and only papers that pass these checks will be published.
