RISFive Years of ASME Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The journal continues to publish research contributions to the fundamental theory, algorithms, design, manufacture, and experimental validation for mechanisms and robots. The current scope of the journal includes topics ...
A Hybrid Response Surface Methodology and Multi-Criteria Decision Making Model to Investigate the Performance and Emission Characteristics of a Diesel Engine Fueled With Phenolic Antioxidant Additive and Biodiesel Blends
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Overconsumption of fossil fuels has accelerated global warming and raised environmental air pollution levels. Recent studies have looked into the potential use of alternative, environmentally friendly fuels for diesel ...
Heat Transfer Characteristics of a Closed-Loop Two-Phase Thermosyphon System With a Structured Heating Surface
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present work reports an experimental investigation of heat transfer characteristics of a closed-loop two-phase thermosyphon (CLTPT) system with a structured heating surface. A novel structured heating surface, i.e., ...
A Sustainable Response Surface Methodology and Analytic Hierarchy Process–Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment Model to Evaluate Performance and Emissions Characteristics of Diesel Engine Using Clove Oil Biodiesel Blend
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Replacing diesel with biodiesel generally results in a decrease in exhaust emissions like carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon, particulate matter, and carbon dioxide. However, nitrogen oxide emissions show increasing trends. On ...
Impact of Surface Flux Formulations and Geostrophic Forcing on Large-Eddy Simulations of Diurnal Atmospheric Boundary Layer Flow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impact of surface flux boundary conditions and geostrophic forcing on multiday evolution of flow in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) was assessed using large-eddy simulations (LES). The LES investigations included ...
Initial Results of a New Composite-Weighted Algorithm for Dual-Polarized X-Band Rainfall Estimation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ata analyses for the mobile Iowa X-band polarimetric (XPOL) radar from a long-duration rain event that occurred during the NASA Iowa Flood Studies (IFloodS) field campaign are presented. A network of six 2D video disdrometers ...
Performance Evaluation of Honeywell Silicon Piezoresistive Pressure Transducers for Oceanographic and Limnological Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simultaneous calibrations of three temperature-compensated piezoresistive ruggedized precision ?absolute? pressure transducers (Honeywell model PPTR0040AP5VB-BD), which have been designed specially for long-term coastal ...
Optimal Paths for Polygonal Robots in SE(2)
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We consider planar navigation for a polygonal, holonomic robot in an obstacle-filled environment in SE(2). To determine the free space, we first represent obstacles as point clouds in the robot configuration space (C). A ...
Aggressive Flight With Quadrotors for Perching on Inclined Surfaces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Microaerial vehicles (MAVs) face limited flight times, which adversely impacts their efficacy for scenarios such as first response and disaster recovery, where it might be useful to deploy persistent radio relays and ...
Deployment and Performance Analyses of High-Resolution Iowa XPOL Radar System during the NASA IFloodS Campaign
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his article presents the data collected and analyzed using the University of Iowa?s X-band polarimetric (XPOL) radars that were part of the spring 2013 hydrology-oriented Iowa Flood Studies (IFloodS) field campaign, sponsored ...
