RISOn the Numerical Inverse Kinematics of Robotic Manipulators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Based on the sequential motion of joints, a method is developed for the numerical inverse kinematics of serial manipulators. This algorithm is stable and computationally efficient and uses the ...
From Mechanisms and Robotics to Protein Conformation and Drug Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The systematic study of kinematics can be traced to the writings of the ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Romans and Persians as far back as 500 B.C. For many centuries kinematics (along with geometry) ...
Optimal Design Using Chaotic Descent Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes a method for searching of global minima in design optimization problems. The method is applicable to any general nonlinear function. It is based on utilizing sensitive ...
Improved Molecular Model of a Peptide Unit for Proteins
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: (1951, “ The Structure of Proteins: Two Hydrogen-Bonded Helical Configurations of the Polypeptide Chain,” Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 37(4), pp. 205–211) in their seminal paper in 1951 reported ...
Barriers to Creativity in Engineering Education: A Study of Instructors and Students Perceptions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper studies “creativity” in engineering education, by examining the perception of instructors and students. We aim to identify factors that impede a creative environment (creativity blockers). ...
Residue Level Inverse Kinematics of Peptide Chains in the Presence of Observation Inaccuracies and Bond Length Changes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The process of calculating the dihedral angles of a peptide chain from atom coordinates in the chain is called residue level inverse kinematics. The uncertainties and experimental observation ...
Hydrogen Bonds and Kinematic Mobility of Protein Molecules
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Modeling protein molecules as kinematic chains provides the foundation for developing powerful approaches to the design, manipulation, and fabrication of peptide based molecules and devices. ...
Analysis and Design of Protein Based Nanodevices: Challenges and Opportunities in Mechanical Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Nanomachines are devices that are in the size range of billionths of meters (10−9m) and therefore are built necessarily from individual atoms. These devices will have intrinsic mobilities that ...
Protofold: A Successive Kinetostatic Compliance Method for Protein Conformation Prediction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an efficient and novel computational protein prediction methodology called kineto-static compliance method. Successive kineto-static fold compliance is a methodology for predicting ...
A Real Parameter Continuation Method for Complete Solution of Forward Position Analysis of the General Stewart
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Stewart Platform is a six degree of freedom, parallel manipulator, which consists of a base platform, a coupler platform and six limbs connected at six distinct points on the base platform ...
