Preface
This book is brought out to mark the occasion of 2nd International Conference on
Recent Advances in Mechanical Infrastructure (ICRAM-2020) during 21–23
August 2020 organised by Department of Mechanical Engineering, IITRAM,
Ahmedabad. The purpose of this conference is to provide platform for academicians, researchers and industrial professionals to exchange their views, ideas and
experiences and collaborate for expediting progress in the fields of thermal, manufacturing, planning and design infrastructure.
The submitted manuscripts went through a peer review process. Each manuscript
received at least two reviews. Finally, 42 manuscripts were selected for presentation
in three different tracks like thermal, manufacturing and design infrastructure.
The conference conveners would like to thank the delegates who have contributed for the conference proceedings as chapters. We would also like to thank our
outstanding keynote speakers: Dr. Fillipo de Monte, Associate Professor,
University of L’Aquila, Italy; Dr. Lailesh Kumar, Senior Research Scientist, Pintree
PosMagnesium Co. Ltd., South Korea; Dr. Udayraj, Assistant Professor, IIT Bhilai;
Selvaraji Muthu, Senior General Manager, Design and Development, Mahle Engine
Components India Pvt. Ltd., Chennai; and Dr. Manoj Kumar Gaur, Professor,
MITS Gwalior, for sharing their deep insights on future challenges and trends.
We would like to thank all the reviewers for their great effort on reviewing the
papers submitted to ICRAM-2020.
We are grateful to the management of IITRAM for their help and support in
organising this mega event.
We hope that this book will motivate many academicians and industrial professionals to specialise in the fields of thermal, manufacturing, planning and design
infrastructure.
