Most-cited papers in Applied Mechanics

A Review of Robots, Perception, and Tasks in Precision Agriculture

Andrea Botta, Paride Cavallone, Lorenzo Baglieri et al. · 5 Jul 2022

This review reports the recent state of the art in the field of mobile robots applied to precision agriculture. After a brief introduction to precision agriculture, the review focuses on two main topics. First, it provides a broad overview of the most widely used technologies in agriculture related to crop, field, and soil monitoring. Second,…

Effects of Curing on Photosensitive Resins in SLA Additive Manufacturing

Carmela Riccio, Marco Civera, Oliver Grimaldo Ruiz et al. · 22 Nov 2021

Different mechanical properties characterise the materials of 3D printed components, depending on the specific additive manufacturing (AM) process, its parameters, and the post-treatment adopted. Specifically, stereolithography (SLA) uses a photopolymerisation technique that creates solid components through selective solidification. In this study, 72 specimens were 3D printed using 12 commercial-grade methacrylate resins and tested under uniaxial…

Fabricating Lattice Structures via 3D Printing: The Case of Porous Bio-Engineered Scaffolds

Antreas Kantaros, Dimitrios Piromalis · 25 May 2021

Over time, the fabrication of lattice, porous structures has always been a controversial field for researchers and practitioners. Such structures could be fabricated in a stochastic way, thus, with limited control over the actual porosity percentage. The emerging technology of 3D printing, offered an automated process that did not require the presence of molds and…

Springback Prediction in Sheet Metal Forming, Based on Finite Element Analysis and Artificial Neural Network Approach

Stefanos C. Spathopoulos, Georgios Ε. Stavroulakis · 6 Apr 2020

Sheet metal forming is one of the most important manufacturing processes applied in many industrial sectors, with the most prevalent being the automotive and aerospace industries. The main purpose of that operation is to produce a desired formed shape blank, without any material failures, which should lie well within the acceptable tolerance limits. Springback is…

Soft Robotic Hands and Tactile Sensors for Underwater Robotics

Rafsan Al Shafatul Islam Subad, Liam B. Cross, Kihan Park · 8 Jun 2021

Research in the field of underwater (UW) robotic applications is rapidly developing. The emergence of coupling the newest technologies on submersibles, different types of telecommunication devices, sensors, and soft robots is transforming the rigid approach to robotic design by providing solutions that bridge the gap between accuracy and adaptability in an environment where there is…

Applied Mechanics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Applied Mechanics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Applied Mechanics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Applied Mechanics use?
Applied Mechanics uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Applied Mechanics 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Applied Mechanics?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Applied Mechanics document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Applied Mechanics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Applied Mechanics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Applied Mechanics?
Applied Mechanics (Appl. Mech.) - MDPI Journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by MDPI.
Can I export a submission-ready Applied Mechanics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Applied Mechanics template (the mdpi class) that is ready to submit to MDPI, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Applied Mechanics template cost?
You can start writing in the Applied Mechanics template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Applied Mechanics PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
