This book is a collection of papers presented at the 15th Asia Conference on Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (ACMAE 2024), held in Harbin, China from 27-29 December 2024. On behalf of my colleagues on the international advisory, organizing and technical committees, I would like to thank all the authors for their support and the contributions that led to the successful publication of these proceedings.

ACMAE 2024 is sponsored by Harbin Engineering University, China, co-sponsored by the Beijing Institute of Technology, China, and hosted by the College of Aerospace and Civil Engineering, Harbin Engineering University, China, technically supported by Wuhan University of Technology, China, Capitol Technology University, USA and Washington University in St. Louis, USA. This international conference was held over three-days and provided a forum for the discussion of mechanical and aerospace engineering. Submitted papers were received and sent for preliminary and peer review conducted by the technical committees. Professional comments were made in the light of of originality, innovation, applicability, technical merit, organization and writing, and relevance to the conference. After several rounds of review procedure, some excellent papers were accepted for publication in the conference proceedings. This year, we received 130 submissions of which 96 were accepted for presentation and 78 for publication in the proceedings. In this connection, I would like to thank all the committee members, particularly members of the Technical Committee, who worked very hard in reviewing the papers and making valuable suggestions to the authors for improvements to their work. Without a valid peer review, quality cannot be assured and research will be ignored by others. Particular thanks also go to the conference organizer, whose special efforts made the conference such a success. I believe that all those delegates who attended the conference in person had an enjoyable stay in Harbin, where we had the opportunity to forge new friendships and reinforce old ties. I would also like to thank our keynote and invited speakers, who so generously shared their expertise through their presentations.

The papers in these proceedings cover a wide range of topics in mechanical and aerospace engineering, including but not limited to: aircraft wing design and aerodynamic characteristics analysis, engine performance simulation and evaluation in aviation systems, power equipment design and system model in aerospace engineering, fault analysis, equipment defect detection and reliability analysis in aerospace engineering, aviation electronics system control and guidance technology, aviation material analysis and mechanical performance testing, dynamic modeling and fluid mechanics analysis, modern mechanical system design and mechanical analysis, modern aircraft manufacturing process, and automated assembly technology.

We believe that this trend will continue, and we hope to receive more innovative and interesting submissions for this conference in the coming years.

Happy reading and hope to see you in person next year!
