“MEKANIKA” is Indonesian word that stands for MECHANICS (məˈkænɪk). It means the working parts of a machine and the way something works or is done according to the Oxford English Dictionary. As inspired by concept of “MECHANICS”, the MEKANIKA: Majalah Ilmiah Mekanika is directed to provide reliable insight to connects mechanics-based knowledges to produce synthesis and reference for contemporary real-world problems. The researches and reports of this journal are projected to be beneficial for Global South Countries, but it also welcomes any collaborating engineering and technological knowledges from Global North that suits and adaptable for industry, innovation and infrastructure in Global South. The focus terms of this journal are advanced material and complex structure. Archipelagic country which is geographical feature of Indonesia as the journal homebase, it motivates the inland and maritime-based structures to be the fundamentals of the research cores. Detailing the structure aspects, concentrations are directed to material-based researches that involve nature-based resources (consisting pure material and waste recycle) from equatorial regions to develop functional and state-of-the-art materials. Integration of those cores are projected to present alternative-reliable reference for engineering purposes, especially in terms of future community, energy development, industrial revolution, and sustainable environment. As commitment to accelerate progress to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this journal aims and prioritizes collaborations of researches, reviews, and reports between affiliations and countries across the globe that directly contribute to: SDG 7 – Affordable and clean energySDG 9 – Industry, Innovation and InfrastructureSDG 11 – Sustainable Cities and CommunitiesSDG 14 – Life Below Water The MEKANIKA: Majalah Ilmiah Mekanika provides a medium for the publication of original research and developed work in the field of engineering mechanic disciplines but is not limited to:
