RISLocal Kinematic Analysis of Closed Loop Linkages—Mobility, Singularities, and Shakiness
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The mobility of a linkage is determined by the constraints imposed on its members. The geometric constraints define the configuration space (cspace) variety as the geometric entity in which the finite mobility of a linkage ...
Economic Potential of Innovative Receiver Concepts With Different Solar Field Configurations for Supercritical Steam Cycles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The cost reduction potential of solar power towers (SPT) is an important issue concerning its market introduction. Raising the steam process temperature and pressure can lead to a cost reduction due to increased overall ...
Economic Chances and Technical Risks of the Internal Direct Absorption Receiver
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Increased receiver temperatures of solar tower power plants are proposed to decrease the plants levelized electricity costs (LEC) due to the utilization of supercritical steam power plants and thus higher overall plant ...
A Solid Shell Finite Element Formulation for Dielectric Elastomers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper is concerned with a solid shell finite element formulation to simulate the behavior of thin dielectric elastomer structures. Dielectric elastomers belong to the group of electroactive polymers. Due to efficient ...
An Angular Momentum and Energy Conserving Lie Group Integration Scheme for Rigid Body Rotational Dynamics Originating From Stأ¶rmer–Verlet Algorithm
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The paper presents two novel second order conservative Liegroup geometric methods for integration of rigid body rotational dynamics. First proposed algorithm is a fully explicit scheme that exactly conserves spatial angular ...
Computational Fluid Dynamics Investigation of a Novel Multiblade Wind Turbine in a Duct
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel manufacturing approach similar to filament winding is able to produce highperformance and lightweight composite wheels. The production can be rapid, inexpensive, and utilize commercially available winding machines. ...
Product Family Design With Solution Spaces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Design for optimal commonality in product families is different from design for optimal performance. While optimal performance may be achieved by the choice of appropriate design parameter values for all system components, ...
1 Hexanol Based Catalyst Inks for Catalyst Layer Preparation for a DMFC
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The catalyst ink preparation for a catalyst layer production by screen printing for a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is evaluated. Among a large variety of solvents 1hexanol was chosen for the preparation due to its ...
Slot Die Coating: A New Preparation Method for Direct Methanol Fuel Cells Catalyst Layers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Manufacturing of catalyst layers is one of the key processing steps in making membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). The catalyst ink, which usually contains catalysts, ionomers, ...
Transient Flow in Natural Gas Pipelines Using Implicit Finite Difference Schemes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Transmission of natural gas through high pressure pipelines has been modeled by numerically solving the governing equations for onedimensional compressible flow using implicit finite difference methods. In the first case ...
