Technical Committee for Computational Kinematics
Mission & Organization
Welcome at the new IFToMM website, in the section of the Technical Committee for Computational Kinematics! The Chair, Deputy Chair, and Chair Secretariat wish all TC-CK members a happy and prosperous 2022!
To stimulate your creative thinking in the new year, here follows a cryptic puzzle which refers to a very well known topic in our wonderful field of Computational Kinematics. If you think that you know the answer, please email it to the Chair.
“Due to the Covid-measures you are oblidged to teach and research from home where, by now, you’ve really been watching every single detail around you.”
Which topic in mechanism science this is about? We are looking forward to your answers!
