Keeping up to date with advances in material science and applied engineering is essential for those working in the field if they are to understand and tackle the challenges they face in an efficient manner and adopt the best and most appropriate solutions available. This book presents the proceedings of MMSE 2022, the 8th International Conference on Advances in Machinery, Materials Science and Engineering Application, held as a hybrid event (both in-person and online) in Wuhan, China, on 23 and 24 July 2022. For the past 12 years, the MMSE international conferences have collated recent advances and experiences, identified emerging trends in technology and encouraged lively debate between students, specialists, engineers and associations from around the world, all of which have had a positive impact in helping to address the world's engineering challenges. The book contains 121 papers, selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process by editors and reviewers from the 215 submissions received. Topics covered include the latest advancements in applied mechanics, intelligent manufacturing technology, mechanical and electromechanical engineering, heat transfer, combustion, advanced materials sciences, industrial applications, applied mathematics, simulation and interdisciplinary engineering. Presenting a wealth of exciting ideas for solving real problems in the real world and opening novel research directions, the book will be of interest to materials specialists and engineers from both academia and industry everywhere.
