IJHM provides a multidisciplinary forum for the publication of the latest research in the integrated field of hydraulic, mechanical and electrical engineering. Aspects involving the interaction phenomena between hydraulics and mechatronics, hydraulic elements integrated with mechatronic systems and vice versa will be covered, with emphasis on the application of hydromechatronics for the enhancement or creation of new functionalities for hydraulic or mechatronic components, devices, products and systems.
Topics covered include
- Hydromechatronics
- Hydraulics
- Pneumatics
- Functional fluids
- Mechatronics
- Fluid mechanics
- Transmission and control
- Artificial intelligence
- Sensors
- Parameter identification
- Vibration control
- Measurement
- Signal processing
- Fault diagnosis
Objectives
Hydromechatronics technology is one of the indispensable key technologies in a new round of industrial revolution with information technology and intelligent manufacturing as core areas. However, current academic journals mainly focus on the theory and technology of mechanics, mechatronics or hydraulics independently, without coverage of hydromechatronics. Hence, IJHM provides an effective international academic platform for scholars and technicians engaged in hydromechatronics in all regions. IJHM will report significant new findings in the theory, methods and innovative application of hydromechatronics. It aims to promote scientific research, strengthen academic exchanges, boost technological progress and serve society.
Readership
IJHM's readership includes academic scholars, researchers and professionals in the field of mechanical, electric and hydraulic engineering.
Contents
IJHM publishes original academic papers and review papers. Special issues devoted to important topics in hydromechatronics will occasionally be published.

Torque talk
12 June, 2025
An innovative design for electric torque motors that could reshape how heavy-duty machinery, industrial automation, and electric vehicles are built is reported in the International Journal of Hydromechatronics. By rethinking how permanent magnets are embedded within the rotating component responsible for generating motion, the researchers have developed a method that increases torque without compromising durability or thermal stability [...]
