Abstract: This is an authors’ guide for the preparation of Proceedings of ICMDT 2015. Authors arerequired to use a Microsoft Word template file to produce fully formatted camera-ready manuscripts.
The template provides predefined Style formats which allows the authors to easily set style and layoutof necessary elements in their manuscripts.
Keywords: Mechanical engineering, Machine element, Actuator, Manufacturing, Design, Tribology.
1. Overview
Authors should prepare manuscripts in the formof Microsoft WORD documents, and convert theminto Adobe pdf file format for submission. This
document is a guideline for the preparation of themanuscripts for the Proceedings of ICMDT 2015
and doubles as a template for Microsoft WORD.
2. Format
Text should be within the dimensions shown on
these pages; each column width should be 75 mm
with 10 mm space between columns. Total width
should be 160 mm. The left and right margins shouldbe 25 mm, the upper margin should be 25 mm
except on the first page, and the lower margin 30
mm. Upper margin for the first page should be 40
mm to provide space for the headers. The space isprovided in the template. Use 10 pt Times New
Roman font with 1.0 line spacing for body text. The
manuscript for the proceedings should not exceed 2
printed pages.
2.1 Header and footer
Special header on the first page is predefined inthis template. Other information such as page
numbers should not be included in the header andfooter region.
2.2 Paper Title and author(s)Title should be centered on full width of the firstpage with spacing; one extra line from page top totitle and one extra line from title to author(s). The
font used for title is 14 pt boldface Times NewRoman.

Author name(s) and affiliation(s) are also
centered on full width of page using 12 pt Times New
Roman by formatted using style “Contributor names”.
One extra line should be inserted between author
name(s) and affiliation(s).
2.3 Abstract and Keywords
Start the paper with a short abstract using thestyle format “Abstract.” Abstract should be less than
250 words. Provide Keywords on a separate line at
the end of the abstract. Separate Abstract andKeywords with a single blank line.
2.4 Headings
First level headings are set to 10 pt boldface
Times New Roman, and 2nd level headings are 10 pt
Times New Roman. Both can be set by using styleformat included in this template: “section title” and“subsection title”, respectively.
2.5 References
Reference number in the text should be enclosed
in square brackets, for example, [1].
3. Mathematical expressions
All mathematical expressions should be includedin the manuscript. Care should be taken to
distinguish between capital and lowercase letters,
between zero “0” and the letter “O”, between thenumerical “1” and the letter “l”, etc. Mathematicalexpressions should fit into a single column when set
in type. Equations that might extend beyond thewidth of one column (fractions that should not be
broken or long expressions enclosed in parentheses)should be rephrased to go on two or more lines

within column width.
Fractional powers are preferred to root signs andshould always be used in more elaborate formulas.
The solidus “/” should be used instead of thehorizontal line for fractions whenever possible.
Numbers that identify mathematical expressions
should be enclosed in parentheses. Refer toequations in the text as “Eq. (1)”, or “Equation (1)”at the beginning of a sentence.

4. Graphics

Max. 220 mm
Max. 70 mm

6. Submission
The manuscripts should be converted to Adobe
pdf file format before being submitted as follows:

Only images of PostScript (PS), Encapsulated
PostScript (EPS, using either Arial or Times Roman
fonts), TIFF (lzw compressed), jpeg and Bitmap
files can be accepted. Color images may be used but
the proceedings will not be printed in color so thegraphics should be legible in black and white.
It is important that the following instructions
should be followed precisely for the graphics files tobe utilized in the proceedings.
Final published size: single-column illustration =70 mm (width), 220 mm (maximum height);
two-column illustration (full page width) = 150 mmwidth, 220 mm (maximum height).
Ensure that line weights will be 0.5 pt or greaterin the final published size. Line weights below 0.5 pt
will reproduce poorly.
Set the graphic for 600 dpi resolution for line art,
264 dpi for halftones, and 600 dpi for combinations(line art + halftone).

a) Create the pdf file by the following settings:−Generalresolution: 2400 dpi, page width: 210 mm,
height: 297 mm−Compression
grayscale images; bicubic downsampling: 264 dpi,compression: jpeg, quality: maximum
monochrome images; bicubic downsampling:
600 dpi, compression: ccitt group 4−Fonts
Embed all fonts−File size
The pdf file should not exceed 5 MB.

5. Tables

7. References

All tables should be numbered consecutively andhave a caption consisting of the table number and abrief title. This number should be used whenreferring to the table in text.
Tables may be inserted as part of the text, orincluded on a separate page immediately followingof as close as possible to its first reference.
Final published size: Single-column table = 70mm (width), 220 mm (maximum length);
Two-column table (full page width) = 155 mm width,
220 mm (maximum length).

[1]Max. 150 mmb) Submit the pdf file no later than February 28,
2015 by uploading the file at the conference web site.
