Recent Advances in Machines, Mechanisms, Materials and Design

This book includes select proceedings from the 7th International and 22nd National Conference on Machines and Mechanisms (iNaCoMM 2025), organized by the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, IIT Hyderabad, under the aegis of the Association for Machines and Mechanisms (AMM). This volume cover a broad range of topics, including analysis and synthesis of mechanisms, compliant mechanisms, biomedical devices, multibody dynamics and control, vibration analysis, robotics, foldable and deployable mechanisms, micro- and nano-mechanisms, optimization, reliability, tribology, smart structures and systems, agricultural and industrial applications, engineering education, and emerging areas in machine and mechanism design. The papers emphasize analytical, computational, and experimental approaches to the design, analysis, and application of machines and mechanisms. This book can serve as a valuable reference for researchers, practicing engineers, faculty members, graduate students, and industry professionals working in machine design, robotics, and mechanism and machine science.
