Modeling and Design of a Mechanical Tendon Actuation System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Basic dynamics of single tendons are modeled, isolated, and measured. Fundamental transmission line models are presented with assumptions applicable to using the models for tendons. The models ...
Response of Continuous Periodically Supported Guideway Beams to Traveling Vehicle Loads
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The response of continuous span periodically supported guideway beams to traveling vehicle loads is determined using Fourier transform techniques. Vehicle loads are assumed to travel at constant ...
Identification of the Dynamic Characteristics of a Bench-Type Automotive Seat for the Evaluation of Ride Quality
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effect of seat transmissibility upon the spectra of motion of a typical bench-type automotive front seat is investigated. Vertical and lateral acceleration spectra arc measured at the ...
Impact Force Prediction Using Measured Frequency Response Functions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A method is presented for predicting impact forces using measured frequency response functions when an ideal mass elastically impacts a stationary structure. It is shown that a frequency response ...
Time Aliasing: A Digital Data Processing Phenomenon
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The frequency sampling theorem is developed and interpreted for a function of frequency which was sampled either directly or indirectly by spectral identification techniques. An example of the ...
A Modular Dynamic Simulation Approach to the Reconstruction of Automobile Accidents
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Dynamic computer simulation of automobile accidents can play a significant role in reconstructing vehicular motion. A modular approach, where individual computer modules are used interactively by ...
An Active and Passive Steering Controller Study of Rubber-Tired Automated Guideway Transit Vehicles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A comparative study of an active and passive steering controller of a rubber-tired Automated Guideway Transit (AGT) vehicle excited by random guideway irregularities is discussed. The thirteen-d ...
Coupled Lateral-Vertical Dynamics of Rubber-Tired Automated Guideway Transit Vehicles With Random Guideway Inputs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A method is presented which permits the simulation of the coupled lateral-vertical rigid body vibration response of a rubber-tired automated guideway transit (AGT) vehicle subject to guideway ...
An Analytical and Experimental Study of Automobile Dynamics With Random Roadway Inputs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the results of an analytical and experimental study of ride vibrations in an automobile over roads of various degrees of roughness. Roadway roughness inputs were measured. ...
NASTRAN Forced Vibration Analysis of Rotating Cyclic Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Theoretical aspects of a new capability developed and implemented in NASTRAN Level 17.7 to analyze forced vibration of a cyclic structure rotating about its axis of symmetry are presented. Fans, ...
