Special Section: 2022 IMECE Papers

Abstract

This issue includes a special section that features select papers from the 2022 ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exhibition (IMECE). In an effort to attract more papers from conferences for the ASME Letters in Dynamic Systems and Control (ALDSC), we reached out to IMECE organizers and requested recommendations for papers to consider for this journal. The idea was to offer those authors the opportunity to publish in a refereed journal while being able to still present their papers at the conference.With help from IMECE Track Chairs Kostas Karazis and Dumitru Caruntu, we identified candidate IMECE papers and contacted those authors to ask them whether they would be willing to have their papers considered for publication in ALDSC. Those papers that were formally submitted were then reviewed using the standard review process. Out of a total of ten papers submitted, we accepted four papers, which are included in this issue.
