Preface I
Dear Authors and Esteemed Participants, It is with immense satisfaction that we write the foreword to the proceedings of the Third International Conference on Computing in Mechanical Engineering, sponsored by the All India Council for Technical Education. The conference was hosted virtually by the SCMS School of Engineering and Technology, Cochin, and witnessed an extravagant display of computational techniques and their application in mechanical and related engineering.ICCME was launched in 2015, with a vision to become a regular global platform for computing enthusiasts from academia and industry to interact, discuss, and disseminate their ideas and views on computational methods. After the second edition of ICCME in 2017, which was a grand success with participants from around the globe, it took a long four years to showcase the eminence of this prestigious event since the world was busy fighting the pandemic. ICCME, relaunched in 2021 under the sponsorship of the All India Council for Technical Education, partnering with Springer Publications, brought the best experience of computational analysis in mechanical engineering to its participants. Keynote lectures by the most eminent computational experts from academia discussed the theory of novel computing techniques, methods, and their applications, while a hands-on experience on computing tools was provided by the expert team from Cadence-Numeca, Belgium. We were fortunate enough to have Prof. Alam Md. Mahbub and Prof. Bale V. Reddy with us for ICCME from the very beginning of the conference in 2015.We conclude with a positive note and hope to meet all our organizers, panelists, speakers, delegates, and sponsors in person during the next edition of ICCME.
