RISMicromechanics Approach for the Overall Elastic Properties of Ceramic Matrix Composites Incorporating Defect Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The initial mechanical response of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) is linear until the proportional limit. This initial response is characterized by linear elastic properties, which are anisotropic due to the orientation ...
Algorithmic Selection of Preferred Grasp Poses Using Manipulability Ellipsoid Forms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An algorithm to search for a kinematically desired robotic grasp pose with rolling contacts is presented. A manipulability measure is defined to characterize the grasp for multi-fingered robotic handling. The methodology ...
