EUCOMES (European Conference on Mechanism Science) has been established as an international forum within the European Community to provide an informal, friendly and stimulating environment for discussions and exchanges on achievements in all aspects of Mechanism Science in order to facilitate international collaboration mainly within a European framework. After two successful conferences held in Innsbruck in 2006 and Cassino in 2008 with the participation of the important and well-known scientists from the European Mechanism Science Community, a further conference was held in Cluj Napoca, Romania, in 2010 to discuss new developments in the field. This book presents the most recent research advances in Mechanism Science with different applications. Amongst the topics treated are papers on Computational Kinematics, Micro-mechanisms, Mechanism Design, Mechanical Transmissions, Linkages and Manipulators, Mechanisms for Biomechanics, Experimental Mechanics, Mechanics of Robots, Dynamics, Control Issues of Mechanical Systems, Novel Designs, Applications and Teaching Methods.

Zusammenfassung

After two succesful conferences held in Innsbruck (Prof. Manfred Husty) in 2006 and Cassino in 2008 (Prof Marco Ceccarelli) with the participation of the most important well-known scientists from the European Mechanism Science Community, a further conference was held in  Cluj Napoca, Romania, in 2010 (Prof. Doina Pisla) to discuss new developments in the field.

This book presents the most recent research advances in Mechanism Science with different applications. Amongst the topics treated are papers on Theoretical kinematics, Computational kinematics, Mechanism design, Mechanical transmissions, Linkages and manipulators, Mechanisms for biomechanics, Micro-mechanisms, Experimental mechanics, Mechanics of robots, Dynamics of multi-body systems, Dynamics of machinery, Control issues of mechanical systems, Novel designs, History of mechanism science etc.
