Advances in Italian Mechanism Science Proceedings of the 5th International Conference of IFToMM Italy - Volume 1

This book presents the proceedings of the 5th International Conference of IFToMM ITALY (IFIT), held in Turin, Italy on September 11–13, 2024. It includes peer-reviewed papers on the latest advances in mechanism and machine science, discussing topics such as biomechanical engineering, computational kinematics, the history of mechanism and machine science, gearing and transmissions, multi-body dynamics, robotics and mechatronics, the dynamics of machinery, tribology, vibrations, rotor dynamics and vehicle dynamics. A valuable, up-to-date resource, it offers an essential overview of the subject for scientists and practitioners alike and inspires further investigations and research.
