RISPointwise Identification of Elastic Properties in Nonlinear Hyperelastic Membranes—Part I: Theoretical and Computational Developments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We present an innovative method for characterizing the distributive elastic properties in nonlinear membranes. The method hinges on an inverse elastostatic approach of stress analysis that can ...
Topology and Dimensional Synthesis of Compliant Mechanisms Using Discrete Optimization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A unified approach to topology and dimensional synthesis of compliant mechanisms is presented in this paper as a discrete optimization problem employing both discrete (topology) and continuous ...
Employment Distribution and Land-Use Structure in the Metropolitan Area of Columbus, Ohio
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Land-use structure variables derived from landscape ecology theory are introduced into traditional employment density models based on the distance to the major central business district in the monocentric framework or on ...
Pointwise Identification of Elastic Properties in Nonlinear Hyperelastic Membranes—Part II: Experimental Validation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Following the theoretical and computational developments of the pointwise membrane identification method reported in the first part of this paper, we perform a finite inflation test on a rubber ...
Characterizing Heterogeneous Properties of Cerebral Aneurysms With Unknown Stress-Free Geometry: A Precursor to In Vivo Identification
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)

Analysis of Subway Station Distribution Capacity Based on Automatic Fare Collection Data of Nanjing Metro
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To realize an early warning system for crowded subway passenger flow, a new calculation method of subway station distribution capacity (SSDC) in real time is proposed. First, a new concept of SSDC is defined according to ...
Dynamic Simulation Pericardial Bioprosthetic Heart Valve Function
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: While providing nearly trouble-free function for 10–12 years, current bioprosthetic heart valves (BHV) continue to suffer from limited long-term durability. This is usually a result of leaflet ...
Nonlinear Anisotropic Stress Analysis of Anatomically Realistic Cerebral Aneurysms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Background. Static deformation analysis and estimation of wall stress distribution of patient-specific cerebral aneurysms can provide useful insights into the disease process and rupture. Method ...
