RISA Nondifferentiable Optimization Algorithm for Constrained Minimax Linkage Function Generation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes a nondifferentiable optimization (NDO) algorithm for solving constrained minimax linkage synthesis. Use of a proper characterization of minima makes the algorithm superior to ...
An Investigation Into the Use of Springs and Wing Motions to Minimize the Power Expended by a Pigeon-Sized Mechanical Bird for Steady Flight
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the effect of using springs and wing motions to minimize the power required by a mechanical bird to fly. Inertia forces as well as aerodynamic forces on the ...
