This volume comprises select proceedings of the 7th International and 28th All India
Manufacturing Technology Design and Research conference 2018 (AIMTDR 2018). The papers in this
volume discuss simulations based on techniques such as finite element method (FEM) as well as
soft computing based techniques such as artificial neural network (ANN) their optimization and
the development and design of mechanical products. This volume will be of interest to
researchers policy makers and practicing engineers alike.
