This book consists of selected papers presented at the 12th International Conference on Mechanical, Automotive and Materials Engineering (CMAME 2025), held at City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, on 19–21 December 2025. Readers find this book a vehicle for the dissemination of research results on latest advances made in this area. It is expected that the publication of the research papers with the advanced topics listed in this book will further promote high-standard academic research in the field and make a significant contribution to the development of human society. Topics that will be covered in this book include but not limited to: materials science and engineering; engine system design and power machinery; mechanical design-manufacture and automation; design and analysis of robot systems; automobile design and manufacturing engineering; thermal and fluid mechanics analysis; aircraft structural design and system control; control theory and engineering applications; and electronic information technology. This book is intended for researchers, engineers, and advanced postgraduate students in the fields of automotive, production, industrial engineering and design.

John P. T. Mo is Professor of manufacturing engineering and Former Head of manufacturing and materials engineering at RMIT University, Australia, since 2007. He has been Active Researcher in manufacturing and complex systems for over 35 years and worked for educational and scientific institutions in Hong Kong and Australia. From 1996, he was Project Manager and Research Team Leader with Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) for 11 years leading a team of 15 research scientists. He obtained his doctorate from Loughborough University, UK, and is Fellow of Institution of Mechanical Engineers (UK) and Institution of Engineers Australia.

Prof. JING received his B.S. degree from Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, and M.S. degree and Ph.D. degree in robotics from Shenyang Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenyang, China, respectively. Thereafter, he received a Ph.D. degree in nonlinear systems and signal processing from the Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK. His current research interests are generally related to nonlinear dynamics, vibration, and control focusing on theory and methods for employing nonlinear benefits in engineering, including nonlinear frequency domain methods, nonlinear system identification or signal processing, vibration control, robust control, sensor technology, energy harvesting, nonlinear fault diagnosis or information processing, bio-inspired systems and methods, bio-inspired robotics and control, etc.
