13 Preface The European Conference on Mechanism Science (EUCOMES 2010 Conference) is the third event of a series that has been started in EUCOMES has been started as a conference initiative to be a forum mainly for the European community working in Machine and Mechanism Science in order to facilitate aggregation and sharing interests and results for a better collaboration and activity visibility. The previous EUCOMES conferences were successfully held in Innsbruck, Austria (2006) and Cassino, Italy (2008). EUCOMES 2010 is taking place in Cluj-Napoca, Romania from 14 to 18 September EUCOMES 2010 is organized by the Center for Industrial Robots Simulation and Testing (CESTER) at the Faculty of Machine Building, Technical University of Cluj-Napoca under the patronage of IFToMM, the International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science. The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers, industry professionals and students from the broad ranges of disciplines referring to Mechanism Science, in an intimate, collegial and stimulating environment. The EUCOMES 2010 Conference aims to provide a special opportunity for the scientists to exchange their scientific achievements and build up national and international collaboration in the mechanism science field and its applications. This book presents the most recent research results in the mechanism science, intended to improve a variety of applications in daily life and industry. The book is published in the Springer series Machine and Mechanism Science. The issues addressed are: Computational Kinematics, Micro-mechanisms, Mechanism Design, Mechanical Transmissions, Linkages and Manipulators, Mechanisms for Biomechanics, Experimental Mechanics, Mechanics of Robots, Dynamics, Control Issues of Mechanical Systems, Novel Designs, Applications and Teaching Methods. EUCOMES 2010 received 100 papers and after careful review with at least two reviews for each paper, 79 papers have been accepted for publication and presentation at the conference. We would like to express grateful thanks to IFToMM, the Romania IFToMM National Committee, the members of the International Steering Committee for the EUCOMES Conference for their co-operation: Marco Ceccarelli (University of Cassino, Italy), Burkhard Corves (University of Aachen, Germany), Manfred Husty xiii

We thank the authors who have contributed excellent papers on different subjects, covering many fields of Mechanism Science, and we are grateful to the reviewers for the time and effort they spent evaluating the papers. We thank the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca and Faculty for Machine Building for hosting the EUCOMES 2010 Conference and we would like to thank our colleagues: Adrian Pisla, Tiberiu Itul, Tiberiu Antal, Calin Vaida, Bogdan Gherman, Marius Suciu, Dorin Lese, Ovidiu Detesan from the Local Organizing Committee, and the sponsors of this conference for their help. Furthermore, we thank the Romanian National Authority for Scientific Research ANCS for the financial support awarded for the EUCOMES 2010 Conference and the printing of this book. We also thank the staff at Springer, including Nathalie Jacobs (editor), and Jolanda Karada (Karada Publishing Services) for their excellent technical and editorial support.
