We will shortly begin our study of bio-inspired engineering by examining one of the classic examples in the field. We will first meet George De Mestral and learn of his inspiration from biology for a technology that is very common today. This chapter will provide the student with an introduction to bio-inspired engineering through examples, definitions, and exercises.

We hope that among these chapters you will find a topic which will raise your interest and engage you to further investigate a problem and build on the presented work. This book could serve either as a textbook or as a practical guide. It includes a wide variety of concepts in FVM, result of the efforts of scientists from all over the world. However, just to help you, all book chapters are systemized in three general groups: New techniques and algorithms in FVM; Solution of particular problems through FVM and Application of FVM in medicine and engineering. This book is for everyone who wants to grow, to improve and to investigate.

Le equazioni differenziali sono un argomento fondamentale non solo della matematica, ma anche della fisica, dell’ingegneria e, in generale, di tutte le scienze. Questo volume intende fornire allo studente una panoramica di alcune tra le più interessanti e suggestive questioni relative alle equazioni differenziali ordinarie trattate da un punto di vista geometrico, aprendo uno sguardo verso l’analisi funzionale. Oltre ai risultati classici sulle equazioni lineari, molto spazio è dato ai problemi nonlineari che spesso non sono oggetto dei corsi istituzionali. L'esposizione è tenuta a un livello semplice in modo che il libro possa essere accessibile a studenti dell’ultimo anno della laurea triennale e della laurea magistrale, offrendo anche spunti per ulteriori approfondimenti.

This is the first volume of three books by the same author, devoted entirely to classical mechanics. The triad of works covers different subjects in classical mechanics and creates a link between them by deriving topics from the same root. Moreover, the author unifies different approaches from English, Russian, Polish, and German literature devoted to classical mechanics. Emphasis is placed on the study of electro-magneto-mechanical systems. Classical Mechanics: Kinematics and Statics is addressed to a wide spectrum of undergraduate and graduate students, postgraduate students, researchers, and instructors, from the fields of mechanical and civil engineering. This volume, which includes a wealth of worked examples and applications, is also intended to be used as a self-contained reference  for researchers in applied mathematics and physical sciences.  It is also recommended as a supplementary textbook at the upper undergraduate and graduate levels. In Chapter 1 the fundamental principles of mechanics are formulated, illustrated, and discussed. Chapter 2 is devoted to statics and Chapter 3 presents the geometry of masses.  Kinematics of a particle, the curvilinear and normal coordinates, and kinematic pairs and chains are the main focus of Chapter 4. Chapter 5 studies the kinematics of a rigid body and a composite motion of a particle. Chapter 6 ends the text with kinematics of a deformable  body.

This book contains selected papers presented at MAMM 2010, the First Workshop on Microactuators and Micromechanisms. This workshop has brought together scientists, industry experts and students and has provided a special opportunity for know-how exchange and collaboration in various disciplines referring to microsystems technology. The conference was organized by the Technical Committees of Mechanical Transmissions and Micromachines under the patronage of IFToMM, the International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science.
