About
Marco Cirelli’s research focuses on the dynamics of mechanical systems, with a particular emphasis on joints with clearances and their impact on machine performance. His major contribution lies in developing and comparing analytical-numerical contact force models for slotted joints, a critical element in mechanisms such as Geneva drives, robotized gear selectors, and centrifugal pendulum vibration absorbers (CPVAs). His most cited work, a 2022 review paper with 12 citations, systematically evaluates these models, providing engineers with validated tools to predict wear, vibration, and energy loss in high-precision machinery. This work bridges a gap between theoretical dynamics and practical design, offering clear guidance for optimizing joint behavior in real-world applications. Cirelli’s research is particularly valuable for students and researchers in mechanical engineering, as it simplifies complex contact phenomena into actionable insights. His achievements include advancing the understanding of clearance-induced nonlinearities, which are often overlooked but crucial for reliability in automated systems. With a growing citation record, Cirelli is establishing himself as a key voice in machine dynamics, making his work essential reading for anyone tackling joint clearance challenges.
