Journal of Machinery Manufacture and Reliability

Published under the auspices of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Journal of Machinery Manufacture and Reliability is the premier Russian journal devoted to advances in machine design; CAD/CAM; experimental mechanics of machines, machine life expectancy and reliability studies; machine dynamics and kinematics; vibration, acoustics and stress/strain; wear resistance engineering, real-time machine operation diagnostics; robotic systems; new materials and manufacturing processes, etc. This journal provides a window on outstanding Russian work in both fundamental and applied research dealing with the theory and applications of machines and mechanisms and a host of associated topics. The major rubrics of coverage are: General questions of machine science Mechanics of machines Reliability, durability and wear resistance New technologies in machinery manufacture Automatization and control in machinery manufacture, mechatronics Experimental mechanics, diagnostics, testing methods Machine safety The journal is a publication of the A.A. Blagonravov Institute of Mechanical Engineering (Russian Academy of Sciences), long noted for its work in increasing the reliability and service life of machines in order to improve productivity. Under the direction of Academician Konstantin V. Frolov, this institute has developed into the preeminent research center in the Former Soviet Union engaged in solving vital problems of mechanical engineering.
