Purport of Special Issue
This is the call for papers for “Special Issue on Advanced Technology in Experimental Mechanics” of Mechanical Engineering Journal published by JSME.
Recently, experimental mechanics is the field to create new technologies to measure stress, strain and fracture of solid materials, consequently. It is expected to play a central role for the security of social infrastructures. Under this circumstances, ATEM-iDICs '23, The Advanced Technology in Experimental Mechanics and International DIC Society Joint Conference 2023, was held at Awara, Fukui, Japan, during Oct. 9-12, 2023. In this time, it was held as a joint conference with International DIC Society (iDICs).
The Special Issue on Advanced Technology in Experimental Mechanics is published as the one of Mechanical Engineering Journal. Every participant of ATEM-iDICs '23 is invited to submit the paper based on their extended abstract of ATEM-iDICs '23. The papers are published through the standard review process. The publication fee will be discounted.

24/7 Clean Nuclear Energy – Solution for Global Warming

Vol.12　No.3 (June 15,2025)
Submission starting date: September 30, 2024
Submission Deadline: November 30, 2024
Note: Please select a Section/Category "ICONE31(MEJ:TEP)" on Editorial Manager.

Power and energy system division holds International Conference on Nuclear Engineering (ICONE) collaborating with American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and Chinese Nuclear Society (CNS) by yearly. The 31st ICONE (ICONE31) will be held in Prague, Czech in August, 2024 hosted by ASME. The theme of ICONE31 is "24/7 Clean Nuclear Energy - Solution for Global Warming." Active discussions are expected on various fields related on nuclear engineering such as plant operation and maintenance, nuclear fuels and materials, next-generation reactors, fuel cycles, reactor safety, thermal hydraulics, computational fluid dynamics, and response to events beyond design basis, etc. It is important to disseminate research presentations and discussions on the importance and safety of nuclear energy utilization in the future to the whole world through the JSME journal at this conference. Therefore, we are planning a special issue to invite research papers on the theme of this special issue based on the papers to be presented at ICONE31.
