Preface

Currently the entire world is struggling against the virulent pandemic COVID-19. Unfortunately, each of us is affected, either directly or indirectly. Our conference, 2020 4th International Conference on Aeronautical Materials and Aerospace Engineering (AMAE 2020) was not an exception. In May, mass gatherings are not permitted by the government in China to protect people. It is uncertain when the COVID-19 would end, so it remains unclear for postponement date, while many scholars and researchers want to attend this long waited conference and have academic exchanges with their peers. Therefore, in order to actively respond the call of the government, and meet author’s request, the AMAE 2020, which was planned to be held in Chengdu, China from May 14 to 17, 2020, was changed to be held on May 15, 2020 online through Tencent VooV software. This approach not only guarantee participants’ safety and health but also meets their communication needs. Each keynote speech lasted 40 minutes, invited speech 30 minutes and author presentation 15 minutes. Each presentation was packed with questions and answers. There were lively discussion at the meeting, which promotes the academic exchange. The success and prosperity of the conference is reflected high level of the papers received. AMAE 2020 became an effective communication platform for all the participants over the world. AMAE 2020 was organized by Hong Kong Society of Mechanical Engineers. This conference aims to provide a platform for researchers and engineers to share their ideas, recent developments and successful practices in Aeronautical Materials and Aerospace Engineering. More than 70 participants attended the meeting, they were from USA, Italy, Germany, Canada, UK, Malaysia, India, Poland, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, China and more. Five renowned speakers given speeches about their latest research and reports. They are: Prof. Ian McAndrew, Capitol Technology University, USA; Prof. Kretov Anatolii, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, China; Prof. Graham J. F. Hunt, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, USA; Assoc. Prof. Bing Li, Northwestern Polytechnical University, China and Assoc. Prof. Dmytro V. Tiniakov, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, China. The conference also had 2 technical sessions and 2 poster sessions. The conference proceeding is a compilation of the accepted papers and represent an interesting outcome of the conference. This book covers 3 chapters: 1. Design; 2. Aviation; 3. Systems. We would like to acknowledge all of those who supported AMAE 2020. Each individual and institutional help were very important for the success of this conference. Especially we would like to thank the committee chairs, committee members and reviewers, for their tremendous contribution in conference organizing and peer review of the papers. We sincerely hope that AMAE 2020 will be a forum for excellent discussions that will put forward new ideas and promote collaborative researches. We are sure that the proceedings will serve as an important research source of references and the knowledge, which will lead to not only scientific and engineering progress but also other new products and processes. Finally, we would like to thank the organization and committee for all their hard work and support and hope to meet you all in person at our next conference. Prof. Ian McAndrew & Prof. Kretov Anatolii Conference Co-Chairs
