High quality, refereed papers are published three times a year. Papers reporting original theoretical and/or practice oriented research or extended versions of the already published conference papers are all welcome. The scope of the journal covers the whole spectrum of Mechanical Engineering. Papers for publication are selected through peer reviewing to ensure originality, relevance, and readability. In doing that, the objective is not only to keep the high quality of published papers, but also to provide a timely, thorough and balanced review process. Editor-in-Chief: Dragan Marinković In order to create/register an account for submitting a paper, first time authors are to contact the Computer Support at mile@ni.ac.rs stating your first name, last name, affiliation with the link, ORCID link, and your academic email-address. We will then send you back an email with your login parameters. Once you receive your parameters from us you will then be able to log in and begin article submission. Aims and Scope: The principal aim of the journal is to bring together the latest research and development in various fields of Mechanical Engineering. We would like to higlight that papers should refer to Focus and Scope, but they are not limited to. Rapid publication: Online submission system, electronic peer review and production make the process of publishing your article very simple and efficient. Usually, it takes less than 2 months from the moment of your submission to a response generated by the reviewing system. If your paper is accepted, we will try to publish it in the upcoming issue. Indexing: The journal Facta Univeristatis, Series: Mechanical Engineering is indexed in a list of databases. These search engines are useful in an academic setting for finding and accessing articles in academic journals, or in repositories, archives, or other collections of scientific and other articles. More info can be found on page <> General Journal guidelines for authors: FU Mech Eng publishes research articles, reviews, case studies. Thematic/special issues include an editorial. Research articles must contain an adequate overview of the representative work in the field including up-to-date references, clear statement of the novelty in the presented research, suitable theoretical background, one or more case studies to demonstrate and discuss the presented ideas and, finally, conclusions. The articles are usually up to 12 pages long. However, longer articles may be accepted with appropriate reasoning. Authors are requested to follow the FU Mech Eng guidelines in preparing their manuscripts as well as use the article template that is available here. If the authors provide a previously published conference submission, Editors will check the submission to determine whether there has been sufficient new material added to warrant publication in the Journal. The FU Mech Eng guidelines require such submissions to contain a significant amount of new material, that is, material that has not been published elsewhere. New results are desired but not necessarily required; however, the submission should contain expansions of key ideas, examples, elaborations, etc. of the conference submission. The paper submitted to the journal should differ from the previously published material by at least 40 percent.   The ONLINE FIRST section of FU Mech Eng lists the papers accepted for publication and copy edited but not yet assigned to an issue.   Journal's Metrics Impact Factor: 11.8 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate): 4/182 (ENGINEERING, MECHANICAL) Journal Citation Reports Quartile: Q1 SCOPUS CiteScore: 18.7 (Q1 ranking) Vol. 23, No 4, 2025 December 2025 Table of Contents Articles VARIATIONAL APPROACH TO MICRO-ELECTRO-MECHANICAL SYSTEMS Ji-Huan He, Jinfeng Ma, Abdulrahman Ali Alsolami, Chun-Hui He PDF 649-665 MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF BIMORPH MAGNETO-ELECTRO-ELASTIC ENERGY HARVESTERS Meisam Moory Shirbani, Sayed Ehsan Alavi PDF 667-686 MACHINE LEARNING OF STRUCTURE – PROPERTY RELATIONSHIPS: AN APPLICATION TO HEAT GENERATION DURING PLASTIC DEFORMATION Filip Nikolić, Marko Čanađija PDF 687-707 VIBRATION AND STABILITY OF A NONLINEAR NONLOCAL STRAIN-GRADIENT FG BEAM ON A VISCO-PASTERNAK FOUNDATION Nikola Nešić, Milan Cajić, Danilo Karličić, Mihailo Lazarević, Sondipon Adhikari PDF 709-733 HOMOGENISED PROPERTIES OF LATTICE METAL COMPOSITE CELL Stefano Valvano PDF 735-756 PREDICTION OF CONTACT DISTRIBUTION ON ROUGH SURFACES USING DEEP LEARNING ALGORITHMS Ilkwang Jang, Yong Hoon Jang PDF 757-785 A FAST INSIGHT INTO HIGH-ACCURACY NONLINEAR FREQUENCY ESTIMATION OF STRINGER-STIFFENED SHELLS Chun-Hui He, Mostafa Mohammadian PDF 787-806 INNOVATIVE DESIGN STRATEGY FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE WITH IMPROVED OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS Jovan Dorić, Nebojša Nikolić, Stjepan Galamboš, Dalibor Feher, Boban Nikolić PDF 807-825 POROSITY EFFECTS ON NONLINEAR STATIC PERFORMANCES OF FUNCTIONALLY GRADED SHELLS CONSIDERING THICKNESS STRETCHING Hanen Mallek, Hana Mellouli, Lotfi Ben Said, Mondher Wali, Fakhreddine Dammak, Muapper Alhadri PDF 827-860 MIXED-FLOW PUMP OPTIMISATION AND FLOW CHARACTERISTICS BASED ON THE ‘DUAL CARBON’ GOALS Minjia Chen, Xingqi Luo, Wanbo Chen, Jianjun Feng, Xiaohang Wang PDF 861-880 A ROLLING BEARING FAULT DIAGNOSIS METHOD BASED ON EXTREME LEARNING MACHINE OPTIMIZED BY IMPROVED WHALE OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM Xin Li, Shiliang Guo, Dejie Sun, Lijun Cao, Cong Li, Shuyao Tian, Peng Liu, Yadong Qi PDF 881-907 EFFECT OF ELECTRIC PULSING ON THE STRUCTURE, TEXTURE AND HARDNESS OF CRYOROLLED FINE-GRAIN COPPER Mikhail Markushev, Irshat Valeev, Aygul Valeeva, Rafis Ilyasov, Elena Avtokratova, Stanislav Krymskiy, Oleg Sitdikov PDF 909-920 CU-CU MECHANICAL BONDING FOR 3D INTEGRATION OF THE NEXT GENERATION ELECTRONIC CHIPS: INTERFACIAL MECHANISMS, SURFACE ENGINEERING, AND EMERGING LOW-TEMPERATURE STRATEGIES Sooyong Choi, Chih-Ming Chen, Byungil Hwang PDF 921-943 RELIABILITY PREDICTION AND PROCESS PARAMETER OPTIMIZATION OF WELDED JOINTS: ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK AND FUZZY LOGIC Jaganathan Gokulachandran, Mohanavelu Thenarasu, Bhadrinath Pothkanoori, Madhavarao Seshadri Narassima, Erfan Babaee Tirkolaee PDF 945-969 ISSN: 0354-2025 (Print) ISSN: 2335-0164 (Online) COBISS.SR-ID 98732551 ZDB-ID: 2766459-4
