Shape Optimization of Flat Clinching Tools by Combining Finite Element Simulation and Response Surface Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Flat clinched joints are increasingly being investigated due to the flat bottom surface. In the current study, the shape of the flat clinching tools was optimized to improve the joint strength. Experimental tests of flat ...
Elastic Stress Distribution in Layered Spherical Shells With Gaps Caused by Internal Pressure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An interlayer gap is inevitable in layered spherical shells. Therefore, the classic formulae for the monobloc spherical shell can no longer be used. In this paper, the formulae for the elastic stress calculation of layered ...
Depth of Convection and the Weakening of Tropical Circulation in Global Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Anthropogenic forcings, such as greenhouse gases and aerosols, are starting to show their influence on the climate, as evidenced by a global warming trend observed in the past century. The weakening of tropical circulation, ...
Characteristics of Transient Electroosmotic Flow in Microchannels With Complex Wavy Surface and Periodic Time Varying Electric Field
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A numerical investigation is performed into the flow characteristics of the electroosmotic flow induced within a microchannel with a complexwavy surface by a timevarying periodic electric field. The simulations focus ...
Evaluation of Force/Torque Transmission Quality for Parallel Manipulators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Performance evaluation is one of the most important issues in the analysis and design of parallel manipulators. The internal forces and torques in parallel manipulators contribute to manipulating the endeffectors and ...
Experimental Investigation of the Mechanical Clinching Process of Al5052-H32/Polyoxymethylene Hybrid Structure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the current study, the mechanical clinching process of the Al5052-H32/polyoxymethylene (POM) hybrid structure has been explored. The influence of diverse forming forces on the forming process of Al5052-H32/POM hybrid ...
Natural Convection Heat Transfer Performance of Non Newtonian Power Law Fluids Enclosed in Cavity With Complex Wavy Surfaces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Numerical simulations are performed to investigate the natural convection heat transfer performance of nonNewtonian powerlaw fluids in a cavity bounded by wavy vertical walls with different temperatures and flat horizontal ...
A Skeletal Prototype of Surgical Arm Based on Dual Triangular Mechanism
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The parallelogrambased remote center of motion (RCM) mechanism used for robotic minimally invasive surgery (MIS) manipulators generates a relatively large device footprint. The consequence being larger chance of interference ...
Modified Shortwave Infrared Perpendicular Water Stress Index: A Farmland Water Stress Monitoring Method
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: rop water stress monitoring by remote sensing has been the focus of numerous studies. In this paper, specifically red (630?690 nm) and shortwave infrared (SWIR; 1550?1750 nm) wavelength bands are identified to monitor ...
