MECHANISM AND MACHINE THEORY

Mechanism and Machine Theory provides a medium of communication between engineers and scientists engaged in research and development within the fields of knowledge embraced by IFToMM, the International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science, therefore affiliated with IFToMM as its official research journal.The main topics are:Design Theory and Methodology;Haptics and Human-Machine-Interfaces;Robotics, Mechatronics and Micro-Machines;Mechanisms, Mechanical Transmissions and Machines;Kinematics, Dynamics, and Control of Mechanical Systems;Applications to Bioengineering and Molecular ChemistryMethodologically, this includes theoretical, experimental, and/or historical approaches, along with their practical application, including education. Substantially, the journal aims at covering all subjects related to mechanisms and machines in general, such as: design theory and methodology, kinematics of mechanisms, rotor dynamics, computational kinematics, multibody dynamics, dynamics of machinery, nonlinear vibrations, linkages and cams, gearing and transmissions, transportation machinery, control and reliability of mechanical systems, including hydraulic and pneumatic systems, experimental test techniques, robots and robotic technologies, mechatronics, micromachines, human-machine interfaces, haptics, among others. Prospective fields of application of mechanism and machine science to other scientific areas such as bioengineering and molecular chemistry are also welcome.

机械与机器理论为从事机械与机器科学促进国际联合会（IFTOMM）知识领域的研究与开发的工程师和科学家提供了一种交流的媒介，因此，IFTOMM作为其官方研究期刊而附属。主要主题是：设计理论和方法；触觉和人机界面；机器人、机电一体化和微型机械；机构、机械传动和机器；机械系统的运动学、动力学和控制；在生物工程和分子化学中的应用从方法上讲，这包括理论、实验和/或历史方法，以及它们的实际应用，包括教育。实质上，期刊旨在涵盖与机构和机器相关的所有学科，如：设计理论和方法论、机构运动学、转子动力学、计算运动学、多体动力学、机械动力学、非线性振动、连杆和凸轮、齿轮和变速箱、运输机械，机械系统的控制和可靠性，包括液压和气动系统、实验测试技术、机器人和机器人技术、机电一体化、微型机械、人机界面、触觉等。机械和机械科学在生物工程和分子化学等其他科学领域的应用前景也受到欢迎。
