This book contains the papers of the European Conference on Mechanisms Science (EUCOMES 2012
Conference). The book presents the most recent research developments in the mechanism and
machine science field and their applications. Topics addressed are theoretical kinematics
computational kinematics mechanism design experimental mechanics mechanics of robots
dynamics of machinery dynamics of multi-body systems control issues of mechanical systems
mechanisms for biomechanics novel designs mechanical transmissions linkages and manipulators
micro-mechanisms teaching methods history of mechanism science and industrial and
non-industrial applications. This volume will also serve as an interesting reference for the
European activity in the fields of Mechanism and Machine Science as well as a source of
inspirations for future works and developments.
