Advances in Mechanism and Machine Science: Proceedings of the 16th IFToMM World Congress 2023Volume 3

This book gathers the proceedings of the 16th IFToMM World Congress, which was held in Tokyo, Japan, on November 510, 2023. Having been organized every four years since 1965, the Congress represents the worlds largest scientific event on mechanism and machine science (MMS). The contributions cover an extremely diverse range of topics, including biomechanical engineering, computational kinematics, design methodologies, dynamics of machinery, multibody dynamics, gearing and transmissions, history of MMS, linkage and mechanical controls, robotics and mechatronics, micro-mechanisms, reliability of machines and mechanisms, rotor dynamics, standardization of terminology, sustainable energy systems, transportation machinery, tribology and vibration. Selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, they highlight numerous exciting advances and ideas that will spur novel research directions and foster new multidisciplinary collaborations.
