Mechanism and Machine Science 2 Teile Gebunden

These proceedings collect the latest research results in mechanism and machine science intended to reinforce and improve the role of mechanical systems in a variety of applications in daily life and industry. Gathering more than 120 academic papers it addresses topics including: Computational kinematics Machine elements Actuators Gearing and transmissions Linkages and cams Mechanism design Dynamics of machinery Tribology Vehicle mechanisms dynamics and design Reliability Experimental methods in mechanisms Robotics and mechatronics Biomechanics Micro nano mechanisms and machines Medical welfare devices Nature and machines Design methodology Reconfigurable mechanisms and reconfigurable manipulators and Origami mechanisms. This is the fourth installment in the IFToMM Asian conference series on Mechanism and Machine Science (ASIAN MMS 2016). The ASIAN MMS conference initiative was launched to provide a forum mainly for the Asian community working in Mechanism and Machine Science in order to facilitate collaboration and improve the visibility of activities in the field. The series started in 2010 and the previous ASIAN MMS events were successfully held in Taipei China (2010) Tokyo Japan (2012) and Tianjin China (2014). ASIAN MMS 2016 was held in Guangzhou China from 15 to 17 December 2016 and was organized by the South China University under the patronage of the IFToMM and the Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society (CMES). The aim of the Conference was to bring together researchers industry professionals and students from the broad range of disciplines connected to Mechanism Science in a collegial and stimulating environment. The ASIAN MMS 2016 Conference provided a platform allowing scientists to exchange notes on their scientific achievements and establish new national and international collaborations concerning the mechanism science field and its applications mainly but not exclusively in Asian contexts.
