Advances of Japanese Machine Design
This special issue belongs to the section “Machine Design and Theory“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research activities of the Japanese Council of IFToMM focus on the many aspects of the theory, design, practice, and application of mechanism and machine design. Several international collaborative works have been done and there are also new activities despite the pandemic situation. This Special Issue contains a selection of the best papers presented at the 26th Jc-IFToMM Symposium 2021 (3rd International Jc-IFToMM Symposium) and on the recent advances in the research areas covered by IFToMM. Novel results and solutions in the broad field of machine design, achieved in Japan as well as with international collaborations mainly within the IFToMM community, are presented.
