RISA Framework for Optimal Placement of Rooftop Photovoltaic: Maximizing Solar Production and Operational Cost Savings in Residential Communities
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Optimizing the placement of photovoltaic (PV) panels on residential buildings has the potential to significantly increase energy efficiency benefits to both homeowners and communities. Strategic PV placement can lower ...
Rattle Dynamic Model and Vibration Behaviors of Noncircular Face Gear
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Noncircular face gear (NFG) is a new type of variable transmission ratio gear mechanism. Based on nonlinear dynamic theory of gear, the rattling behavior of the NFG under multifrequency excitation was studied. The generalized ...
Real Time Estimation of Glenohumeral Joint Rotation Center With Cable Driven Arm Exoskeleton (CAREX)—A Cable Based Arm Exoskeleton
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the past few years, the authors have proposed several prototypes of a Cabledriven upper ARm EXoskeleton (CAREX) for arm rehabilitation. One of the assumptions of CAREX was that the glenohumeral joint rotation center ...
Second Spine: Upper Body Assistive Device for Human Load Carriage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study presents the development of second spine, an upper body assistive device for human load carriage. The motivation comes from reducing musculoskeletal injuries caused by carrying a heavy load on the upper body. ...
Non-Gradient–Based Algorithm for Structural Reliability Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In reliability analysis, the first-order reliability method (FORM) and various optimization algorithms are widely used to locate the most probable point (MPP) and calculate the reliability index. These algorithms generally ...
Optimal Design of Cable Driven Manipulators Using Particle Swarm Optimization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The design of cabledriven manipulators is complicated by the unidirectional nature of the cables, which results in extra actuators and limited workspaces. Furthermore, the particular arrangement of the cables and the ...
Configuration Robustness Analysis of the Optimal Design of Cable-Driven Manipulators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Designing an effective cable architecture for a cable-driven robot becomes challenging as the number of cables and degrees of freedom of the robot increase. A methodology has been previously developed to identify the optimal ...
Time Series of Daily Averaged Cloud Fractions over Landfast First-Year Sea Ice from Multiple Data Sources
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The time series of daily averaged cloud fractions (CFs) collected from different platforms?two Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments on Terra and Aqua satellites, the National Centers for ...
Reliability Assessment of Tunnel Based on P-Wave Seismic Velocity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper aims to propose a new method to analyze the stability of a tunnel using P-wave seismic velocity (Vp) with the help of the Tunnel Seismic Prediction 23 plus system (TSP23PLUS). On one hand, the relationship between ...
Design and In Silico Evaluation of a Closed-Loop Hemorrhage Resuscitation Algorithm With Blood Pressure as Controlled Variable
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper concerns the design and rigorous in silico evaluation of a closed-loop hemorrhage resuscitation algorithm with blood pressure (BP) as controlled variable. A lumped-parameter control design model relating volume ...
