Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Delun Wang is a Professor at the School of Mechanical Engineering, Dalian University of Technology, China. His research interests include kinematic geometry of mechanisms, methodology of machine design, and accuracy design for machinery. He has participated in more than 20 projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, National High-tech R&D Program of China (863 Program), etc. He served as Co-Chair of the Consultancy Committee of Teaching for Basic Program of Mechanical Engineering at the Ministry of Education of China (2013–2017, 2018–2022), as Chair of the Teaching and Researching Committee of Theory of Mechanisms and Machine of China (2012–2016), on the Technical Committee of IFToMM Computing Kinematics, and as an Associate Editor of the ASME Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics (2009–2013). He has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal articles.

Víctor Petuya received his M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from the Faculty of Engineering of Bilbao, University of the Basque Country, Spain, in 1995, and his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the same university, in 2003. From 1995 to 1998, he worked as a design and analysis engineer for several aerospace projects at a private engineering firm. He is currently an Associate Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Universidad del País Vasco (UPV/EHU). His research interests include advanced mechanical design and analysis, computational kinematics of planar and spatial mechanisms, particularly parallel manipulators, and biokinematics. He is the Chairman of the IFToMM Technical Committee for Linkages and Mechanical Controls. He has (co-)authored more than 60 peer-reviewed journal articles.

Yan Chen is a Professor at the School of Mechanical Engineering, Tianjin University, China, and Deputy Director of the Key Laboratory of Mechanism Theory and Equipment Design, Ministry of Education. Before joining Tianjin University, she worked at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, from 2005 to 2012. Her research interests include the design methodology of deployable structures, modeling of overconstrained mechanisms and their kinematic analysis, structural design of metamaterials, and their applications in large-scale deployable structures for aeronautic engineering, new lightweight structures, and surgical foldable structures. She was elected as a Fellow of the British Institution of Mechanical Engineers in 2015. She has (co-)authored over 40 peer-reviewed journal articles and two monographs.

Shudong Yu is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Ryerson University, Canada, where his work focuses on flexile multiple-body dynamics with applications in mechanisms, machine dynamics, chaos and bifurcations in large-scale nonlinear dynamical systems, and flow-induced vibration. He has been a Fellow of the Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering since 2001 and served as Vice President (Ontario) of the Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering(2002–2009). He has (co-)authored over 60 papers published in respected peer-reviewed journals.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Gathering the proceedings of the conference MeTrApp 2019, this book covers topics such as mechanism and machinery design, parallel manipulators, robotics and mechatronics, control applications, mechanical transmissions, cam and gear mechanisms, and dynamics of machinery. MeTrApp 2019 provided researchers, scientists, industry experts, and graduate students from around the globe with a platform to share their cutting-edge work on mechanisms, transmissions, and their applications. The proceedings extend this platform to all researchers, scientists, industry experts, and students interested in these fields.
