26th LISBON World Congress on Advances in Materials and Industrial Engineering (WAMIE-26) scheduled on May 13-15, 2026 Lisbon (Portugal)) is for the engineers, practitioners, scientists, researchers, scholars, and students from all around the world and it also includes the industry people to present ongoing research activities, and hence to foster research relations between Academia and industry. The conference is being organized by Emirates Research Publication (ERPUB) operting under Pilares D Elegancia LDA (Portugal). This conference provides opportunities for the delegates to share new ideas and application experiences face to face, to establish business or research relations and to find global partners for future collaboration. All the submitted conference papers will be peer reviewed by the program/technical committees of the Conference.

Call for papers/Topics

Topics of Interest for Submission include, but are Not Limited to:

1. Materials Science and Engineering (MSE)

This field focuses on the relationship between the structure of materials at atomic scales and their macroscopic properties.

Fundamentals & Structure

• Crystallography: Crystal systems, Miller indices, and lattice defects.

• Thermodynamics of Materials: Phase equilibria, Gibbs free energy, and phase diagrams.

• Kinetics: Diffusion mechanisms, nucleation, and growth.

• Atomic Bonding: Ionic, covalent, metallic, and Van der Waals forces.

Material Classes

• Metals and Alloys: Ferrous (steels, cast irons) and non-ferrous (aluminum, titanium, superalloys).

• Ceramics and Glass: Structural ceramics, refractories, and electronic ceramics.

• Polymers: Thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers, and polymerization techniques.

• Composites: Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP), metal-matrix, and ceramic-matrix composites.

• Semiconductors: Doping, P-N junctions, and photovoltaic materials.

Properties and Characterization

• Mechanical Properties: Stress-strain behavior, hardness, fatigue, creep, and fracture mechanics.

• Electrical & Magnetic: Conductivity, dielectric properties, ferromagnetism, and superconductivity.

• Characterization Techniques: Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Spectroscopy.

2. Manufacturing and Processing

This is the bridge where Material Science meets Industrial application.

• Casting and Molding: Sand casting, investment casting, and injection molding.

• Forming and Shaping: Forging, rolling, extrusion, and sheet metal working.

• Machining: CNC milling, turning, and non-traditional machining (EDM, Laser cutting).

• Joining Technologies: Welding, brazing, soldering, and adhesive bonding.

• Additive Manufacturing: 3D printing (SLA, FDM, SLS) and powder metallurgy.

3. Industrial Engineering (IE)

This field focuses on the optimization of complex processes, systems, and organizations.

Operations Research & Optimization

• Linear & Integer Programming: Mathematical modeling for resource allocation.

• Stochastic Processes: Queuing theory and Markov chains.

• Simulation: Discrete-event simulation (DES) and Monte Carlo methods.

Supply Chain & Logistics

• Inventory Management: EOQ models, JIT (Just-in-Time), and safety stock.

• Facilities Layout: Plant design, material handling systems, and warehouse management.

• Transportation Modeling: Routing, distribution, and global supply chain strategy.

Quality and Reliability

• Six Sigma & Lean Manufacturing: Waste reduction (Muda) and DMAIC methodology.

• Statistical Quality Control (SQC): Control charts and capability analysis.

• Reliability Engineering: Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF).

Human Factors and Ergonomics

• Cognitive Ergonomics: Human-computer interaction and mental workload.

• Physical Ergonomics: Biomechanics, workplace design, and safety engineering.

• Work Design: Time and motion studies and labor standards.

4. Management and Emerging Trends

Topics that apply to both fields in a modern industrial context.
