Introduction

This guideline has been prepared in the format that should be used for your two-page paper. Please use this document as a template for your paper. Fonts, font sizes and spacing should be used as they are used in this document. Use the standard A4 page format, with top and bottom margin of 15 mm, left and right margin of 20 mm.

Body text should be written in Times New Roman, 12 pt, line spacing 12 pt. A new paragraph starts with a half blank line (6 pt) and a new line without indentation. The two-page-paper must be written in English language.

Content

There must be a minimum words to describe the subject, purpose and principal content of the paper. It is not acceptable that the two-page paper should only contain images, tables or figures. The two-page paper may contain images to help draw attention to the subject matter. Any lettering used in figures or tables should be large enough to be readable at reduced size (80%): Characters should not be smaller than Times New Roman, 10 pt.

Please do not insert page numbers or headers and footers. Although manuscripts will be reviewed and may in some cases be returned to authors for revision, all initial submissions must be made in the final form, assuming that no revisions will be necessary. Authors are encouraged to use pure English alphabets. Diacritics usage may lead to printing mistakes.

Papers must be written in English. The style, grammar and phrasing should be edited by a person with an excellent command of English and a good understanding of engineering terminology. Papers with poor structure and many grammatical mistakes will be rejected.

Graphics (drawings and photographs)

All graphs, line drawings and photographs should be inserted electronically. The resolution should be 150x150 dpi (dots per inch) for photographs and 300x300 dpi for drawings. Before a picture is included, the number of pixels should be scaled down. For the paper, a picture size of 200-500 KB should be sufficient.

Fig. 1: This is a Figure Caption, 11pt, Italic All figures and tables must be inserted near the location where they are first described. Provide a figure number and caption below each figure or photograph and a table number and caption above each table.

Graphics and tables should be aligned with the left or right margin and should not exceed 100 mm in width. Text may be wrapped around graphics, as in this example. Take care to align text and graphics properly so that they appear tidily on the page.

Table 1: This is a Table Caption, 11pt, Italic	Yield Line Number	Normal BM [Nmm]	Yield Line Length [mm]
1	-13,793	5,771
2	-25,058	11,660
3	-18,315	11,832
4	-10,334	11,813
