IEEE-ASME TRANSACTIONS ON MECHATRONICS《IEEE-ASME机械电子学汇刊》(双月刊). The IEEE/ASME TRANSACTIONS ON MECHATRONICS (TMECH) is a bimonthly periodical that began as a quarterly in 1996 as a joint publication of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Society, ASME Dynamic Systems and Control Division, and ASME Design Engineering Division.
