A Magnetically Actuated Drug Delivery System for Robotic Endoscopic Capsules
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There is an increasing need to incorporate an actively controlled drug delivery system (DDS) into the next generation of capsule endoscopy in order to treat diseases in the gastrointestinal tract in a noninvasive way. ...
A Nonlinearly Broadband Tuneable Energy Harvester
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A nonlinearly broadband tuneable energy harvesting device has been designed, fabricated, and tested based on the nonlinear dynamical response of a parametrically excited clamped–clamped beam carrying a central point mass ...
Effect of Manganese Dioxide Nanorods on the Thermoelectric Properties of Cement Composites
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Seebeck coefficient of plain cement paste is usually less than 1 μV/°C. To enhance the thermoelectric performance of cement composites, a kind of MnO2 powder was synthesized and used as a thermoelectric component in ...
Improved Mathematical Model for Analysis of the Payne Effect of Magnetorheological Elastomers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Recently, magnetorheological elastomer–based vibration control devices have attracted increasing attention due to their field dependence of stiffness characteristics. It is crucial to develop a comprehensive model for ...
A Parametrically Broadband Nonlinear Energy Harvester
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this work, for the first time, an energy harvester based on the nonlinear dynamical response of a parametrically excited cantilever beam in contact with mechanical stoppers has been fabricated and tested; a 145% increase ...
High Throughput Cell-Free Extraction of Plasma by an Integrated Microfluidic Device Combining Inertial Focusing and Membrane
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Plasma is a host of numerous analytes such as proteins, metabolites, circulating nucleic acids (CNAs), and pathogens, and it contains massive information about the functioning of the whole body, which is of great importance ...

Experimental Nonlinear Model Identification of a Highly Nonlinear Resonator
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this work, two model identification methods are used to estimate the nonlinear large deformation behavior of a nonlinear resonator in the time and frequency domains. A doubly clamped beam with a slender geometry carrying ...
Singular System-Based Approach for Active Vibration Control of Vehicle Seat Suspension
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper proposes a singular system-based approach for active vibration control of vehicle seat suspensions, where the drivers' acceleration is augmented into the conventional seat suspension model together with seat ...
