The 26th volume of the journal "Advanced Engineering Forum" contains peer-reviewed manuscripts describing the results of engineering solutions and research dealing with actual problems in the study of structural and functional materials, their behaviour and their processing technologies. Published articles will be useful for professionals in the field of materials development and application in the various branches of engineering and for students and academic staff concerned with the related specialties.
The recent developments in the area of Mechanical Engineering Design is very encouraging and this book by results of International Conference on Mechanical Engineering Design (ICMED 2016, Chennai, TamilNadu, India, April 25-26, 2016) will provide an effective medium for the dissemination of recent advances and original works of industry professionals, academicians and research scholars from around the globe in Mechanical Engineering Design and its impact on the components manufacturing process in an integrated, highly focused and coherent format.
We hope that the outcomes of this book will help in different working situations, bridge research and practice and respond positively to emerging issues in various mechanical engineering designs.

The 20th century was a period during which many new sciences and engineering techniques appeared and evolved, and were applied to industrial applications. Towards the end of that century, however, it was recognized that - in many cases - the industrial technologies that underpin current-day society suffered from wider sociogical deficiencies. The usual engineering approaches began to face many difficulties which arose from the high habitual levels of consumption of energy and resources.. Energy sources, and supplies of various resources, have already begun to diminish in the 21st century. These limitations on energy and resources require science and technology to adapt quickly to this new regimen.
