Mobility Analysis and Type Identification of Four-Link Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An alternative derivation of the simple criteria, in terms of linkage parameters, demarking the zones of nonexistence of double-crank and crank-rocker RSSR mechanisms is presented. The existence ...
Use of Dynamic Absorbers to Control Parametric Instabilities of a Pipe
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Steady-State Investigation of Vapor Deposited Micro Heat Pipe Arrays
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental investigation of vapor deposited micro heat pipe arrays was conducted using arrays of 34 and 66 micro heat pipes occupying 0.75 and 1.45 percent of the cross-sectional area, ...
Transient Response Characteristics of Vapor Deposited Micro Heat Pipe Arrays
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The transient thermal response of vapor deposited micro heat pipe arrays fabricated as an integral part of silicon wafers was measured to determine if these arrays could be used to reduce the ...
Forward and Inverse Analyses of an SMA Actuated Compliant Link
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents forward and inverse analyses of the response of a compliant link actuated by a discretely attached shape memory alloy (SMA) wire subjected to a time-varying input voltage. ...
Forced Nonlinear Oscillations of an Autoparametric System—Part 2: Chaotic Responses
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Chaotic oscillations arising in forced oscillations of a two degree-of-freedom autoparametric system are studied. Statistical analysis of the numerically integrated nonperiodic responses is shown ...
Forced Nonlinear Oscillations of an Autoparametric System—Part 1: Periodic Responses
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Forced oscillations of a two degree-of-freedom autoparametric system are studied with moderately high excitations. The approximate results obtained by the method of harmonic balance are found to ...
Optimum Discrete Location of Shape Memory Alloy Wire for Enhanced Actuation of a Compliant Link
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: For discrete actuation with shape memory alloy (SMA) wires, the actuation moment can be controlled by changing the amount of wire offset. Increasing offset not only enhances the actuating moment, ...
Free Vibration of Thin-Walled Open Section Beams With Unconstrained Damping Treatment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Free-vibration characteristics of a thin-walled, open cross-section beam, with unconstrained damping layers at the flanges, are investigated. Both uncoupled transverse vibration and the coupled ...
On the Use of Micro Heat Pipes as an Integral Part of Semiconductor Devices
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A transient three-dimensional numerical model was developed to determine the potential advantages of constructing an array of very small (100 μm diameter) heat pipes as an integral part of ...
