Preface

International scientific and theoretical conference “Modeling and Computer Engineering in Mechanical Engineering: Theory, Practice, and Innovation” - MCEME-2022 dedicated to the topics of modeling and computer engineering in mechanical engineering, took place over three days, respectively from Thursday, September 29 to Saturday, October 1 in 2022. The plenary session was held on Friday, September 30, 2022. Considering that Ukraine was attacked by Russia and there is a war, the program and organizational committees decided to hold the conference in a hybrid mode: both virtually, through Google Meet, and face to face, a plenary meeting in the conference hall, a meeting by sections in three designated auditoriums of the Department of Machine Design and Automotive Engineering, Lviv Polytechnic National University, Ukraine.Despite periodic alarm sirens, also during the meetings, and the need to hide from rocket fire, the conference took place, and some of the conference participants from Ukraine and the Republic of Poland were also present in person.The participants in the conference were informed, constantly on the news about the progress of the peer review process (there was a team of 19 academic reviewers), through general messages, posted on the conference website, but also individually, through the platform www.morressier.com.The initial difficulties and compliance with the Morressier platform were overcome relatively quickly, and the positive results were not long in coming. Conference participants were informed, in advance, about the program of events, presentations, in general, all components of the MCEME-2022 scientific event. The conference program was posted on the conference website: https://science.lpnu.ua/mceme-2022The conference was opened with a welcome speech by the Vice-Rector for Scientific Research of the Lviv Polytechnic National University, Dr.Sc.Tec., professor Ivan Demydov. Also, the Director of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering and Transport, Dr.Sc.Tec., professor Oleksii Lanets, addressed the participants and guests with a welcome speech Vice-Rector for Science and Innovation Vilnius Gediminas Technical University Prof., Dr. Dalius Navakauskas gave a welcome speech. Director of the Research Institute of Mechanics and Automation of Agro-Industrial Production of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine, professor, Dr.Sc.Tec., Valerii Adamchuk.
