Motion Analysis of a Foldable Barrel Vault Based on Regular and Irregular Yoshimura Origami
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper investigates the geometry of a foldable barrel vault with Yoshimura Origami patterns during the motion. On the base of the geometry analysis of the origami unit, the radius, span, rise, and longitudinal length ...
Topology Optimization of Total Femur Structure: Application of Parameterized Level Set Method Under Geometric Constraints
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Optimization of the femur prosthesis is a key issue in femur replacement surgeries that provide a viable option for limb salvage rather than amputation. To overcome the drawback of the conventional techniques that do not ...
Numerical Simulations of Two Back-To-Back Horizontal Axis Tidal Stream Turbines in Free-Surface Flows
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We simulate two back-to-back full-scale tidal turbines using an in-house computational free-surface flow code. We briefly present the mathematical formulation of the computational framework. We first validate the proposed ...
