Aims & Scope

Mechanical Engineering, as one of the oldest and broadest engineering disciplines, relies on fundamental science disciplines such as physics, mathematics, material science, but also on modern disciplines such as computation science, in order to design, analyze, optimize, manufacture and maintain a vast range of mechanical systems. Dissemination of the results achieved in this enticing field of engineering development is almost of equal importance as the development itself.

Reports in Mechanical Engineering (RME) aims at this important task by providing a venue for high-quality scientific papers that contribute significantly to the field of Mechanical Engineering. The material published is of high quality and relevance, written in a manner that makes it accessible to a wide-ranging readership. Papers reporting original theoretical and/or practice-oriented research or extended versions of the already published conference papers are all welcome. The scope of the journal covers the whole spectrum of Mechanical Engineering. Papers for publication are selected through a double-blind peer-review process to ensure originality, relevance, and readability. In doing that, the objective is not only to keep the quality of published papers high but also to provide a timely, thorough, and balanced review process.

Abstract

---

The steel production industry plays a vital role in global industrialization, driving infrastructure development and economic growth. Despite its importance, the sector faces persistent challenges such as operational inefficiencies, fluctuating demand, environmental constraints, and reliability issues within mechanical and production systems. This study examines steel manufacturing processes from a mechanical engineering perspective, analyzing system dynamics, equipment performance, and process reliability through both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Key operational patterns, failure points, and opportunities for process optimization are identified. The results reveal that integrating advanced mechanical systems, predictive maintenance strategies, and optimized workflow designs can significantly enhance reliability, reduce downtime, and improve overall process efficiency. These insights offer practical guidance for engineers and plant managers aiming to strengthen the mechanical resilience and sustainability of steel production operations‎.
