RISContinuum Mechanics Applied to the Biomechanics of Motion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Continuum mechanics is the discipline that studies the motion and deformation of material bodies and is at the basis of both solid mechanics and fluid mechanics. This work aims at highlighting how a basic education in ...
A Distance Geometry Approach to the Singularity Analysis of 3R Robots
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper shows how the computation of the singularity locus of a 3R robot can be reduced to the analysis of the relative position of two coplanar ellipses. Since the relative position of two conics is a projective invariant ...
Discussion of “<i>Pore Pressure Behavior of Ko‐Consolidated Clays</i>” by Paul W. Mayne and Harry E. Stewart (November, 1988, Vol. 114, No. 11)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
On the Westward Translation of Isolated Eddies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper examines the motion of an isolated lenslike eddy using the reduced-gravity shallow-water equations (SWE) on a ? plane. In contrast to previous studies the author uses a correct first-order ?-plane approximation ...
Collaborative Robotics: A Survey
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Collaborative robotics is an umbrella term that conveys the general idea of proximity between machines and humans for some useful tasks in a shared space, with a range of options for timing (continuously, synchronously, ...
Experimental Investigation on a Novel Electrolyte Configuration for Cylindrical Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental investigation on a novel electrolyte configuration for molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs) is presented. A single cell facility was built. The cell is characterized by a cylindrical ...
Coupled Effects of Pore-Water Pressure Evolution, Slope Curvature, and Mass Variation on the Kinematics of Rapidly Sliding Fine-Grained Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The analysis of the complex kinematics of fine-grained masses, from the moment they rapidly slide along mountain streams until they stop, is crucial to the identification of potentially vulnerable areas and the design of ...
Closed-Form Solution to the Position Analysis of Watt–Baranov Trusses Using the Bilateration Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The exact position analysis of a planar mechanism reduces to compute the roots of its characteristic polynomial. Obtaining this polynomial almost invariably involves, as a first step, obtaining ...
Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes and Large Eddy Simulation Investigation of Lean Premixed Gas Turbine Combustor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Reynoldsaveraged Navier–Stokes (RANS) and largeeddy simulations (LES) of a Siemens scaled combustor are compared against comprehensive experimental data. The steady RANS simulation modeled one quarter of the geometry ...
Evaluation of a Satellite Multispectral VIS–IR Daytime Statistical Rain-Rate Classifier and Comparison with Passive Microwave Rainfall Estimates
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A daytime surface rain-rate classifier, based on artificial neural networks (ANNs), is proposed for the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI) on board the Meteosat-8 geostationary satellite. It is developed ...
