The Stability of the Motion of a Connecting Rod
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the results of the investigation concerning the stability of the motion of a connecting rod. For simplicity in analysis, the rod is assumed to have a constant cross-sectional ...
Integrated System ID and Control Design for an IC Engine Variable Valve Timing System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper applies integrated system modeling and control design process to a continuously variable valve timing (VVT) actuator system that has different control input and cam position feedback ...
Sliding Mode Control of Both Air-to-Fuel and Fuel Ratios for a Dual-Fuel Internal Combustion Engine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) sliding mode control scheme was developed with guaranteed stability to simultaneously control air-to-fuel ratio (AFR) and fuel ratios to desired levels under various ...
Stress Analysis of Pressure Vessel With Wound-Flat Steel Ribbons
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Pressure vessels with wound-flat steel ribbons, also called ribbon-wound vessels, have excellent engineering and economic advantages and are widely used in the People’s Republic of China. A brief ...
Consideration of Phase Transformations in the Study of Shear Bands in a Dynamically Loaded Steel Block
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We study plane strain thermomechanical deformations of a square block made of steel, and model a material defect in it by a rigid non-heat-conducting ellipsoidal inclusion located at the center ...
Analysis of Shear Banding in Plane Strain Compression of a Bimetallic Thermally Softening Viscoplastic Body Containing an Elliptical Void
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We study plane strain thermomechanical deformations of a prismatic viscoplastic body of square cross-section and deformed at a nominal strain-rate of 5000 s−1 . The body has two thin layers ...
Creep Deformation of Particle-Strengthened Metal-Matrix Composites
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A multiaxial theory of creep deformation for particle-strengthened metal-matrix composites is derived. This derivation is based on the observation that there are two major sources of creep ...
A Dynamic Model of an Electropneumatic Valve Actuator for Internal Combustion Engines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a detailed model of a novel electropneumatic valve actuator for both engine intake and exhaust valves. The valve actuator’s main function is to provide variable valve timing ...
Optimal Redesign of Linear Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper proposes a redesign procedure for linear systems. We suppose that an initial satisfactory controller which yields the desired performance is given. Then both the plant and the ...
Similarity Transformations for Compressor Blading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Improving the performance of high-speed axial compressors through low-speed model compressor testing has proved to be economical and effective (Wisler, 1985). The key to this technique is to ...
