Preface
The first Workshop on Mechanisms, Transmissions and Applications - MeTrApp-2011 is organized by the Mechatronics Department at the Mechanical EngineeringFaculty, “Politehnica” University of Timisoara, under the patronage of the IFToMMTechnical Committees Linkages and Mechanical Controls (old MechanicalTransmission) and Micromachines.
The workshop aims to bring together researchers and students who develop theirwork in disciplines associated with Mechanisms Science in a friendly, colleague-likeand collaboration environment. MeTrApp-2011 offers a great opportunity for scien-tists all over the world to present their achievements, exchange innovative ideas andcreate solid international links. The scientific event is meant to gather the noveltyand originality in Mechanisms Science and its application and to depict the trend ofthis important and creative field.
The topics proposed for the Workshop are Mechanisms and Machine Design,Mechanical Transmissions, Mechatronic and Biomechanic Applications, Computa-tional and experimental methods, History of Mechanisms and Mechanisms Scienceand Teaching Methods.
MeTrApp-2011 received 29 papers which were carefully reviewed by at least twoprestigious reviewers chosen from the international academic or scientific commu-nities. A number of 26 papers were accepted for publication and presentation duringthe workshop.
We would like to express grateful thanks to IFToMM International Federationfor the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science, to the Romanian IFToMMNational Committee ARoTMM and the members of the International ScientificCommittee of MeTrApp-2011.
We appreciate the effort of the reviewers gathered in the International ScientificCommittee of MeTrApp-2011. They spent time for a serious work of evaluation andimprovement guidance, meant to assure a high quality of all papers.

On the Evolution of Graphical Representationof Gears
M. Ceccarelli and M. Cigola
Abstract In this paper, a historical evolution of graphical representation of geardesigns is reported as a short survey by using significant drawings bath in thehistory of gear systems and design standards. A graphical representation of gearsystems has evolved from a pictorial illustration towards a synthetic drawing offunctionality and characteristics of gears that is today summarised in internationalstandards. Those standards as from ISO and Italian UNI codes are still based ongraphical schematic representation of gear characteristics with pictorial representa-tion for an intuitive understanding of an intuitive understanding of main features ofgear designs. A historical study is focused on the last century practical applicationof this gear representative.

1 Introduction
Gears and gear systems have bean fundamental machine components and machineryyet that have been used and contributed to an evolution of machinery efficiency andcapability as reported in many historical surveys like for example [1]. Technologicalevolution of gear systems has been supported also by suitable graphical repre-sentation of design features and functionalities both in practical applications andtheoretical studies. In this paper attention is addressed to historical evolution ofgraphical representation of designs and features of gears and gear applications witha special focus on looking at recent practical views.
