Abstract

This paper commemorates the first anniversary of the passing of Professor Ettore Pennestrì (1957–2024), a distinguished scholar in Mechanism and Machine Science, who left an indelible mark on the scientific and engineering community. Pennestrì made pioneering contributions across diverse areas including theoretical kinematics, mechanism synthesis, gear analysis, multibody dynamics, compliant mechanisms, biomechanics, and vibration dampers. He was renowned for his interdisciplinary approach, skillfully integrating classical knowledge with advanced computational methods to solve contemporary industrial problems. A visionary educator, he championed the integration of multibody dynamics into engineering curricula in Italy and founded the highly influential International Multibody System Dynamics Workshop & Summer School. Beyond his academic prowess, he was cherished as an empathetic and generous mentor, deeply committed to nurturing the intellectual growth of his students and collaborators. Often described as a "keeper of kinematics' secrets," his intellectual curiosity, joy for sharing knowledge, and warm personality left an enduring legacy of transformative scientific contributions, profound impact on engineering education, and an inspiring example of a life dedicated to the advancement of science and the nurturing of human potential.
纪念:埃托雷教授pennestrì(1957-2024)一生致力于科学、指导和运动学艺术
本文纪念etore教授逝世一周年Pennestrì(1957-2024),一位杰出的机械和机器科学学者,他在科学和工程界留下了不可磨灭的印记。Pennestrì在理论运动学、机构综合、齿轮分析、多体动力学、柔顺机构、生物力学和减振器等多个领域做出了开创性的贡献。他以跨学科的方法而闻名,巧妙地将经典知识与先进的计算方法结合起来解决当代工业问题。作为一位富有远见的教育家,他倡导将多体动力学整合到意大利的工程课程中,并创立了极具影响力的国际多体系统动力学研讨会。暑期学校。除了他的学术能力,他被珍视为一个同情和慷慨的导师,深深致力于培养他的学生和合作者的智力成长。他经常被描述为“运动学秘密的守护者”,他的求知欲,分享知识的乐趣和热情的个性留下了变革性科学贡献的持久遗产,对工程教育产生了深远的影响,并成为一个鼓舞人心的例子,他一生致力于科学的进步和培养人类潜力。
