We are pleased to present you with the new issue of the Journal of Mechanical Engineering, which brings an overview of the latest research results, innovative engineering solutions, professional and comprehensive analyses from various fields. In an era of accelerated technological development, material advancement, automation and digital transformation of industry, the role of a mechanical engineer has never been more relevant or challenging. Also, with the presence of modern approaches, modern equipment and software solutions, working in this field offers a very nice feeling and satisfaction to young experts, as well as those with significant work experience.
In this issue, readers will find papers in the fields of optimization of band sawing production technology, cloud computing, nonlinear simulations of air bending production technology, vibration and surface treatment analysis, analysis of elliptical sheet metal bending, bending force optimization, and PDM/PDL technologies.
The journal aims to provide a platform for high-quality scientific dialogue, promote young researchers and encourage the exchange of ideas between the academic community and industry.
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.
We would like to thank all authors, reviewers and collaborators who contributed to the preparation of this issue, as well as the
readers who continuously support the development of the journal.
Sincerely,
