Springer Tracts in Mechanical Engineering (STME) publishes the latest develop-
ments in Mechanical Engineering - quickly, informally and with high quality. The
intent is to cover all the main branches of mechanical engineering, both theoretical
and applied, including:
•Engineering Design
•Machinery and Machine Elements
•Mechanical Structures and Stress Analysis
•Automotive Engineering
•Engine Technology
•Aerospace Technology and Astronautics
•Nanotechnology and Microengineering
•Control, Robotics, Mechatronics
•MEMS
•Theoretical and Applied Mechanics
•Dynamical Systems, Control
•Fluids Mechanics
•Engineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer
•Manufacturing
•Precision Engineering, Instrumentation, Measurement
•Materials Engineering
•Tribology and Surface Technology
Within the scope of the series are monographs, professional books or graduate
textbooks, edited volumes as well as outstanding PhD theses and books purposely
devoted to support education in mechanical engineering at graduate and
post-graduate levels.
Indexed by SCOPUS, zbMATH, SCImago.
