Textbook in PDF format

This book discusses the technological developments achieved by distinguished figures in the history of mechanism and machine science (MMS). This is the fifth volume of a series of books which gathered contributions on the leading scientists in the field. This book focuses specifically on the IFToMM community and its activities over the last 50 years, showcases who-is-who in MMS, and emphasizes ― together with the previous books of the series ― the significance of MMS through time. Each chapter recognizes persons whose scientific work resulted in relevant technical developments in the historical evolution of MMS within IFToMM. Biographical notes describing the efforts and achievements of these persons are included as well, but a technical survey is the core of each chapter, offering a modern interpretation of their legacy.
This is the fifth volume of a series of books whose aim is to collect contributed papers on figures in Mechanism and Machine Science (MMS). The last volume follows four ones with the first published in 2007, with content that is specifically focused on eminent figures in the IFToMM community in the International Federation for the Promotion of MMS in its last 50 years of activities.
The five volumes represent a project of a dictionary of who-is-who in MMS with the encyclopedic character of the whole book series by emphasizing the significance of MMS through time. The uniting characteristic of the volumes is that the papers all recognize persons whose scientific work resulted in relevant technical-scientific achievements with impacts in technology and science in the historical evolution of the fields of MMS not only within IFToMM as well as with an influence in society development. Biographical notes describing the efforts and experiences of these persons are included as well, but a technical survey is the core of each contributed paper.
