The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering is one of the most successful members at the University of Maribor and is recognised for its excellence in education, research and collaboration with industry. Its history of development, from its early beginnings in 1959 to becoming an internationally active and research-driven institution, reflects a continuous commitment to technological progress and societal impact. The Special Issue presents a selection of articles covering applied fluid mechanics, advanced materials and metamaterials, manufacturing science, and biomedical modelling. The collected works combine experimental, numerical, and review-based approaches to address contemporary challenges in mechanical engineering. This publication not only highlights the scientific excellence achieved at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Maribor, but also celebrates its enduring mission to connect knowledge, innovation and human creativity in shaping a sustainable and technologically advanced futureTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za strojništvo
