RISManaging Complex Vehicle System Simulation Models for Automotive System Development
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A Model Management System (MMS) for vehicle dynamic system modeling is described, including lessons learned from a pilot implementation at Ford Motor Company. For complex vehicle systems, early ...
Development of a Computer-Aided Manufacturing System for Profiled Edge Lamination Tooling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Profiled Edge Lamination (PEL) tooling is a promising Rapid Tooling (RT) method involving the assembly of an array of laminations whose top edges are simultaneously profiled and beveled based ...
STEP, XML, and UML: Complementary Technologies1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: One important aspect of product lifecycle management (PLM) is the computer-sensible representation of product information. Over the past 15 years or so, several languages and technologies have ...
Extracting Articulation Models from CAD Models of Parts With Curved Surfaces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In an assembly, degrees of freedom are realized by creating mating features that permit relative motion between parts. In complex assemblies, interactions between individual degrees of freedom ...
On the Figure of Merit of Thermoelectric Generators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In order to improve the performance of semiconductor thermoelectric power generators, a high figure of merit (Z) of both material and generator system has been a target for a long time. In ...
In Vitro Measurement of the Restraining Role of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament During Walking and Stair Ascent
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The study aimed to test the hypothesis that the restraining role of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee is significant during the activities of normal walking and stair ascent. ...
Using Genetic Algorithms to Set Target Values for Engineering Characteristics in the House of Quality
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As part of a strategy for obtaining preliminary design specifications from the House of Quality, genetic algorithms are used to generate and optimize preliminary design specifications for an ...
Valve Gear Refinement
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes a new type of valve gear cam—MULTICAM—which consists of seven curves and allows an optimum cam profile design. In order to calculate the cinematic and dynamic values and ...
Tooth Undercutting of Beveloid Gears
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A beveloid gear can be viewed as an involute gear of which the profile-shifted coefficient linearly decreases from the heel to the toe. Therefore, tooth undercutting occurs and singular points ...
Self-sealing, Large Bore Arterial Punctures: A Counterintuitive New Phenomenon
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The human femoral artery can bleed dangerously following the removal of a catheter during cardiac catheterization. In this study, a modified technique of needle insertion, simply inserting the ...
