Dear Colleagues,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Symmetry is an important factor in various engineering research fields, and it is fundamental to function and design. In particular, the complex system of manufactured parts, symmetric and asymmetric, is characteristic of the transport industry (for example, in aviation, road, and rail vehicles) and constitutes a significant issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Currently, efforts are being made to automate transport and improve its efficiency while reducing cost. Additive manufacturing techniques are being increasingly used to ensure the feasibility of highly complex projects. These techniques involve the production of items based on 3D computer-aided design, computational geometry, and the graphical visualization of prototypes. Moreover, computer systems and numerical optimization techniques play a key role in the logistic problems involved with achieving high performance in a transport company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a result, novel engineering technologies, computer-aided manufacture, and sophisticated modeling methods are being implemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is now a requirement for mathematical analysis, not just to obtain operational efficiency but also for intelligent design. Transport (both operations and facilities) is subject to the same techniques used for VLSI and circuit board optimization. The emergence of robotics and the growing power of machine learning have transformed warehouse and fulfilment center layout to allow more flexible use, and this creates new dimensions for design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is our honor to invite researchers to submit original experimental and theoretical articles addressing the abovementioned issues in the mechanical and transport engineering fields and the related fields of mathematical analysis, robotics, and computational technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
