Mahbub from Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen), Professor Shaofeng Wang, Dean of the School of Mechanical Engineering, Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology, Jia Jianhua, Director of the Strategic Planning Department of the Sixth Academy of CASIC, and Si Wang, Director of the Science and Management Department of the Metrology and Testing Research Institute of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
The opening ceremony of the conference was presided over by Professor Junxi Bi, Vice Dean of Aviation College of Inner Mongolia University of Technology. Professor Junxi Bi warmly welcomed the leaders and guests present.
Professor Pucun Bai, Vice President of Inner Mongolia University of Technology, gave a speech on the stage, warmly welcomed all the participants, thanked all the participants for their unremitting efforts to promote the application of machinery, aerospace technology and materials, and hoped that through this conference to strengthen international exchanges and cooperation in various fields of academia, and provide new ideas for scientific and technological innovation.Subsequently, Professor Junhong Guo, Dean of the School of Aviation, Inner Mongolia University of Technology, stressed the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in the current rapid development of science and technology environment, and expected participants to broaden their horizons, deepen research, continue to innovate, and inject vitality into future scientific and technological progress.The conference made a keynote report in the morning, chaired by Professor Shufeng Lv, deputy director of the Development Planning and Discipline Construction Department of Inner Mongolia University of Technology, and four well-known scholars shared their research results.
The first speaker, Professor Duc Truong Pham, is now Dean of the School of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Birmingham and a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering. His online presentation is titled "Research on Robotic Disassembly for Intelligent Remanufacturing." Professor Pham spoke in detail about the importance of the remanufacturing process, especially in the current context of increasing global resource constraints, as remanufacturing provides an effective way to reduce raw material consumption and environmental pressure. He presented the results of the Autonomous Remanufacturing Lab's research in developing robotic disassembly systems that can work autonomously or in collaboration with human operators, greatly improving the efficiency and safety of disassembly.
The second speaker is Professor Yufei Gao from Shandong University, who is the executive director of the Shanda Tengzhou Research Institute. The title of his report is "The development status and trend of precision slicing technology for photovoltaic solar monocrystalline silicon cell substrates". In the context of the rapid development of the global photovoltaic industry, Professor Gao has illustrated the role of diamond wire saw processing silicon crystals in improving battery quality and production efficiency with comprehensive research. He stressed the significance of technological innovation for the sustainable development of the photovoltaic industry and called for industrial technology upgrading through academic research driven by the "dual carbon" goal.
The third speaker is Professor Alam Md Mahbub from the Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen). His presentation was entitled "The Effect of plugging and Wall Surfaces on flow-induced vibration". With many years of experience in the field of fluid mechanics, Professor Alam provided the participants with an in-depth analysis of the challenges posed by fluid-induced vibration to the safety of engineering structures, and demonstrated how to optimize the design of these vibration hazards through experimental data.
The fourth speaker is Yuying Liu, a professor at Beihang University, whose research focuses on aeroengine combustion technology. Her report, "Effects of Inlet Temperature on Initial atomization of transverse Jets," explores the application of multiphase fluid dynamics in aviation combustion, revealing through detailed numerical simulations the key effects of temperature changes on the atomization process, which is critical for improving engine combustion efficiency and reducing emissions.
This conference will make a report in the afternoon. Chaired by Associate Professor Ruifeng Meng from Inner Mongolia University of Technology, experts and scholars from different universities and institutes at home and abroad conducted in-depth exchanges and discussions。Professor Eckart Meiburg from the University of California, Santa Barbara, United States, first delivered an online report. He introduced the cutting-edge research in Marine weight flow and computational fluid dynamics with the title of "Exploring sediment transport Process through particle resolution Simulation", and deeply studied the motion characteristics of sediments through high-precision simulation technology. It provides an important reference for Marine engineering and environmental protection.
Associate Professor Taimoor Asim from Robert Gordon University in the UK focuses on wind power technology. Professor Asim's presentation, entitled "Assessing the Self-starting Capability of Vertical axis Wind turbines - a Case Study", provides an in-depth analysis of the advantages of vertical axis wind turbines in urban wind energy utilization, and experimentally validates the significant advantages of multi-blade designs in improving start-up performance and power generation efficiency.The participants met in the discussion session, and the exchange of ideas was not limited to academic theories, but also involved the solution of practical engineering problems. These reports not only present the latest research results of the participating scholars, but also point out the direction for future cooperation and development.Oral presentation and poster presentation
At this point, 2024 3rd International Conference on Mechanical, Aerospace Technology and Materials Application (MATMA 2024) came to a successful conclusion. Professor Bi Junxi, Deputy Dean of the School of Aviation, Inner Mongolia University of Technology, delivered a concluding speech. He expressed his sincere thanks to all the staff and volunteers who worked hard for the success of the conference, and looked forward to seeing more breakthrough research and cross-field cooperation in the next conference. Finally, he called on the participants to continue to keep in touch, promote the cooperation intention of the research projects to become substantive, with the academic power to promote the green and sustainable development of the social economy.
The successful holding of MATMA 2024 not only shows the cutting-edge trends of science and technology in the field of machinery, aerospace technology and materials application, but also provides participants with a global exchange and cooperation platform, and promotes a series of transnational scientific research cooperation and project exchange. It is expected that next year's conference will bring more innovative research results and continue to lead the development trend of mechanical and aerospace technology.
