Accurate Robot Motion-Time Model of Start/Stop Point-to-Point Operations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An accurate robot motion-time (ARM-Time) model is explored to be used in predicting, with an unprecedented accuracy, the motion time of start/stop point-to-point operations. Unlike the existing ...
Number of Cable Effects on Buckling Analysis of Cable-Stayed Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Cables instead of interval piers support cable-stayed bridges, and the bridge deck is subjected to strong axial forces due to the horizontal components of cable reactions. The structural behavior of a bridge deck becomes ...
Dynamic Characteristics of a One-Unit Ball-Rod-Spring Balancer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The traditional ball-type automatic balancer consisting of several balls moving on a circular orbit is widely used in the optical disk drive industry for vibration reduction. Under proper working ...
The Finite Screw System Associated With the Displacement of a Line
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In determining the screw systems associated with incompletely specified displacements, the displacement of a line was known to be an exceptional case. Recent research has concluded that all ...
Stability Analysis of Box-Girder Cable-Stayed Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objective of this study is to investigate the stability characteristics of box-girder cable-stayed bridges by three-dimensional finite-element methods. Cable-stayed bridges have many design parameters, because they ...
Control of Volumetric Flow-Rate of Ball Valve Using V-Port
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The control of volume flow rate in a ball valve is very important when a ball valve is utilized in a piping system. It is difficult to linearly control the flow rate in a ball valve ...
Hydrocarbon Fuels From Gas Phase Decarboxylation of Hydrolyzed Free Fatty Acid
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Gas phase decarboxylation of hydrolyzed free fatty acid (FFA) from canola oil has been investigated in two fix-bed reactors by changing reaction parameters such as temperatures, FFA feed rates, ...
Vehicle-Induced Dynamic Performance of FRP versus Concrete Slab Bridge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the United States alone, about 30% of the bridges are classified as structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. To alleviate this problem, a great deal of work is being conducted to develop versatile, fully composite ...
Relationship Between Crack-Tip Constraint and Dynamic Fracture Initiation Toughness
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Two-dimensional finite element analyses are performed to study the crack-tip constraint in an elastic-plastic, three point bend specimen under dynamic load. Both strain rate-independent and strain ...
Flow Control for a Submerged Inlet
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Submerged inlets have the advantages of low drag, clean outer profile, and excellent stealth performance. Previous studies indicate that the zones of large total-pressure loss, located at the bottom and top regions of the ...
