Conversion of Waste Materials into Heterogeneous Oxidation Catalysts for Treatment of Chlorinated Organics
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Waste disposal is a challenging environmental concern worldwide. Carbon-rich waste materials can be transformed into adsorbent and/or catalyst support to reduce treatment costs and promote waste recycling. In the present ...
Using a Point-Line-Plane Representation for Unified Simulation of Planar and Spherical Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a geometric constraints driven approach to unified kinematic simulation of n-bar planar and spherical linkage mechanisms consisting of both revolute and prismatic joints. Generalized constraint equations ...
An Invariant Representation of Coupler Curves Using a Variational AutoEncoder: Application to Path Synthesis of Four-Bar Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper focuses on the representation and synthesis of coupler curves of planar mechanisms using a deep neural network. While the path synthesis of planar mechanisms is not a new problem, the effective representation ...
A Task-Driven Approach to Optimal Synthesis of Planar Four-Bar Linkages for Extended Burmester Problem
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The classic Burmester problem is concerned with computing dimensions of planar four-bar linkages consisting of all revolute joints for five-pose problems. We define extended Burmester problem as the one where all types of ...
Proteins Recovery from Hydrothermally Treated, Diluted, and Centrifuged Sewage Sludge Samples
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Direct application of sewage sludge (SS) as a fertilizer is a major concern owing to the presence of pathogens and organic pollutants. Hydrothermal pretreatment of the sludge is considered an effective method for the ...
High-Order Velocity Moments of Turbulent Boundary Layers in Seepage Affected Alluvial Channel
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this work, we have performed the flume study to analyze the high-order velocity moments of turbulent boundary layer with and without downward seepage. Sediment transport experiments were done in the laboratory for no ...
A Machine Learning Approach to Kinematic Synthesis of Defect-Free Planar Four-Bar Linkages
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Synthesizing circuit-, branch-, or order-defects-free planar four-bar mechanism for the motion generation problem has proven to be a difficult problem. These defects render synthesized mechanisms useless to machine designers. ...
Degradation of Organic Pollutants by Wet Air Oxidation Using Nonnoble Metal-Based Catalysts
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Phenol is a major organic pollutant found in wastewater streams generating from several industries. The presence of excess phenol makes the wastewater unsuitable for conventional biological treatment. The present study was ...
Machine Learning-Driven Individualized Gait Rehabilitation: Classification, Prediction, and Mechanism Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a machine learning-based approach toward designing individually targeted rehabilitation devices. This approach consists of a classification model for early detection of a disease, regression, and ...
An Image-Based Approach to Variational Path Synthesis of Linkages
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper brings together computer vision, mechanism synthesis, and machine learning to create an image-based variational path synthesis approach for linkage mechanisms. An image-based approach is particularly amenable ...
