RISAn Effective Mixed Annealing/Heuristic Algorithm for Problems in Mechanical Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The wide application of stochastic optimization methods in mechanical design has been partially hindered due to (a) the relatively long computation time required, and (b) discretization of the ...
The Incorporation of Arc Boundaries and Stick/Slip Friction in a Rule-Based Simulation Algorithm for Dynamic Mechanical Systems with Changing Topologies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Many dynamic mechanical systems, such as parts-feeders and percussive power tools, are described by equations of motion which are discontinuous. The discontinuities result from kinematic constraint ...
Dimensional Tolerance Allocation of Stochastic Dynamic Mechanical Systems Through Performance and Sensitivity Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Uncertainties due to random dimensional tolerances within stochastic dynamic mechanical systems lead to mechanical errors and thus, performance degradation. Since design standards do not exist for ...
