Can you design a mechanism that will trace out the shape of a heart? How about the shape of a moon, or a star? Mechanism ...

This paper comprehensively surveys existing works of chip design with ML algorithms from an algorithm perspective. To accomplish this goal, the authors propose a novel and systematical taxonomy for ...

In my consulting practice, innovation challenges that dogged teams having very good and experienced engineers for months or even years were resolved in a matter of days or hours. It was not magic; we ...

When I joined Machine Design three years ago, my No.1 goal was to expand my knowledge of engineering best practices and its relationship to the manufacturing industry. To be successful, I would need ...

Until now, designing complex metamaterials with specific mechanical properties required large and costly experimental and simulation datasets. The method enables ...

Human-machine interfaces (HMIs) facilitate interaction between a human operator and a machine, allowing users to control machinery and receive feedback while ensuring smooth and efficient operation.

Simplified machine designs with fewer components run more efficiently and are less expensive to build. Older mechanical power transmission and actuator technologies, such as chain, rack and pinion and ...
