Abrasive technology concerns manufacturing processes that involve use of abrasives in a variety of forms. It has a long history originating from the discovery of minerals. With the increasing requirements for high precision and high surface quality components in various applications, (e.g. silicon wafers in the semiconductor industry and optical lenses in the precision instrument industry), abrasive technology is becoming increasingly important in precision manufacturing. IJAT deals with abrasive technology, covering theoretical and applied research, new technologies and applications.
The International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing is concerned with the design, synthesis and application of estimators or controllers where adaptive features are needed to cope with uncertainties. The theory and application of adaptive systems and system identification are areas of interest. Contributions that bring together the expertise of the Control and Signal Processing communities, and explore the links between Adaptive Signal Processing and Control are encouraged. The area concerned with the design of estimators for uncertain systems that may not be strictly adaptive also falls within the scope of the journal. Signal processing that may not include adaptation but where the techniques could find application in adaptive systems, is also covered. The field of control and signal processing applications is a strong focus. This includes problems in the implementation of algorithms for real time signal processing and control. The topics of stability, convergence and numerical aspects of the algorithms are considered of importance. The related aspects of software engineering, expert systems, intelligent control and filtering algorithms are also of interest. Principal areas to be addressed include:

IJAIP fosters the exchange and dissemination of applications and case studies in the area of advanced intelligence paradigms among education and research professionals. The thrust of the journal is to publish papers dealing with the design, development, testing, implementation and management of advanced intelligent systems, and to provide guidelines in the development/management of these systems. IJAIP publishes archival articles and assessments of current trends, providing a medium for exchanging scientific research and technological achievements accomplished by the international community.
The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology bridges the gap between pure research journals and the more practical publications on factory automation systems. It therefore provides an outstanding forum for international papers covering applications-based research topics spanning the entire manufacturing spectrum.Published papers will continue to be to a high standard of excellence. This is ensured by subjecting each paper to a strict assessment procedure by members of the international editorial advisory board. The objective is firmly to establish that papers submitted do meet the requirements, especially in the context of proven applications-based research work. It is not acceptable that papers have a theoretical content alone.The journal covers the full range of advanced manufacturing technology. It therefore publishes papers on robotics; artificial intelligence, including speech technology, vision and tactile sensing; grippers; programmable controllers; lasers and other advanced processes
Research and experiments in the synergistic integration of mechanical engineering, electronic control and systems concepts have contributed significantly to the design of systems, devices, processes and products. IJAMechS provides concise and quantitative expressions of the theoretical and practical developments in mechatronic systems and is set up to reflect the relevant generic studies.
Aeroacoustics is a growing area and has received fresh emphasis due to advances in air, ground and space transportation. Significant advances in aeroacoustics are required for reducing community and cabin noise from subsonic aircraft and to prepare for the possible large scale entry of supersonic aircraft into civil aviation. The use of high thrust producing engines on military aircraft has raised numerous concerns about exposure of aircraft carrier personnel and sonic fatigue failure of aircraft structures. In the ground transportation arena efforts are currently under way to minimize the aerodynamic noise from automobiles and high speed trains. Finally, space launch vehicle noise if uncontrolled can cause serious structural damage to the spacecraft and payload. In addition, with the proliferation of space flight, launch vehicle noise can also become a significant environmental issue. It has become increasingly important to address all of the above noise issues in order to minimize the noise impact of advances in transportation. New research needs to be conducted and effectively communicated, in order to meet higher levels of noise certification and to pre-empt further regulatory burdens.
International Journal of Aerospace Engineering aims to serve the international aerospace engineering community through dissemination of scientific knowledge on practical engineering and design methodologies pertaining to aircraft and space vehicles.Original unpublished manuscripts are solicited on all areas of aerospace engineering including but not limited to:Mechanics of materials and structuresAerodynamics and fluid mechanicsDynamics and controlAeroacousticsAeroelasticityPropulsion and combustionAvionics and systemsFlight simulation and mechanicsUnmanned air vehicles (UAVs).Review articles on any of the above topics are also welcome.
IJASM addresses agility, responsiveness, competitiveness and management of systems, defined as regularly interacting or interdependent groups of items or bodies forming a unified whole. IJASM highlights systems specified, designed, controlled, implemented, commissioned, operated, serviced or maintained with human and society requirements in mind. Examples include engineering assets, environment, building, transport, computers, supply chains, manufacturing, enterprises, and complex engineering products such as aircraft. IJASM acknowledges the need for better understanding of content/context/processes in systems and their interaction with the ever-changing environment.
Increasing awareness of the need to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels has led to the development of academic research and policy surrounding self-regenerating energy sources. International Journal of Ambient Energy reports original research, review papers, book reviews, applications and case-studies on all areas of this subject, including nuclear, hydroelectric, wind, biomass, solar, photovoltaic, tidal, wave and geothermal power. Particular attention is given to the use of renewable power within the built environment. Our aim is to provide a forum for the worldwide dissemination of both technical and policy information relating to ambient energy.All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.
