Dear colleagues,
The development of society and the improvement of life quality, as well as the overall activities, are unthinkable without development and contribution in the fields of science, scientific research
and educational work. In order to achieve it, personnel and infrastructural potentials are essential, since only they can bring good results, new values and a better future, under condition of having the context of continous and longterm operating, within the ambience of clear and supportive strategies. Therefore, the combination of public governing institutions, academic sector and business entities is
the only proper model, in which all have their essential roles and significance. Institutions can only in mutual connection, and not for the purpose of serving to themselves, offer their true and full contribution to the development of science and research, dissemination of results and their applicability for the benefit of humanity, in general.
In line with the above mentioned, a long-standing mission of MAŠINSTVO is to contribute to the publication of scientific achievements in the field of technical sciences. The direction this Journal wants to follow is to publish quality papers that undergo the mandatory peer-review process, what also aims to achieve another goal: to fulfill the prerequisites for indexation of this Journal.
In this double issue, journal MAŠINSTVO offers four papers from different thematic areas. The first one brings numerical analysis of voltage states of pressure vessels, the second refers on the dynamic analysis of structures, while the third offers an analysis of cutting parameters, and the fourth deals with the analysis of welded joint behavior.
In order to present scientific, research and professional capacities, the Journal follows new trends and practices in multidisciplinary areas. In regard to it, from the previous issue, all papers
are published only in English.
We kindly invite all esteemed colleagues, especially our young colleagues from all universities and other related institutions, to take part and publish their scientific and professional research results in this Journal, which is a significant project of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of University in Zenica and provides the opportunity for presentations of scientific research and professional research results from highlighted, and related, thematic areas. The ‘Guidelines for Authors’ section provides basic guidelines for preparing and writing papers. In particular sections, we continue the tradition of presenting scientific, research and economic capacities from the environment.
Sincerely,
Fuad Hadžikadunić, Editor-in-Chief
