Fracture Toughness JIC Prediction From Super-Small Specimens (0.2CT, 0.5MM Thick) of a Martensitic Stainless Steel HT-9
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The fracture toughness of alloy HT-9, a martensitic stainless steel under consideration for fusion reactor applications, was determined from 0.2CT (0.5mm thick) specimens. Specimens with thicknesses ...
SphereWalker: A Hexapod Walking Machine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article describes the design and the development of a novel six-legged robotic walking machine named SphereWalker. The six legs are arranged into pairs, and each pair of legs is supported and actuated by a single ...
Freeze–Thaw Resistance of Lightweight Concrete and Aggregate at Different Freezing Rates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, freezing and thawing tests were conducted on lightweight concrete and aggregate at different freezing rates (one cycle per day and six cycles per day) in order to investigate their freeze–thaw resistance and ...
Stability and Bifurcation Analysis of a Network of Four Neurons With Time Delays
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper reveals the dynamical behaviors of a bidirectional neural network consisting of four neurons with delayed nearest-neighbor and shortcut connections. The criterion of the global asymptotic ...
Experimental Research on the Flame Temperature of n-Butanol–Diesel Fuel Blends in Atmospheric Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: One kind of renewable and clean fuel is n-butanol, called the second-generation biofuel. Recently, it has attracted more and more interests from energy researchers and many oil companies. Almost all related research focus ...
Investigation of the High Speed Rolling Bearing Temperature Rise With Oil-Air Lubrication
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The oil-air lubrication system has been widely used for rolling ball bearing. However, as the rotation speed increases, the temperature rise will increase dramatically, resulting in shortening ...
Admissible Finite Time Stability and Stabilization of Uncertain Discrete Singular Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The problems of admissible finitetime stability (AFTS) and admissible finitetime stabilization for a class of uncertain discrete singular systems are addressed in this study. The definition of AFTS is first given. Second, ...
Robust Joint Position Feedback Control of Robot Manipulators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Most manipulator motion controllers require joint velocity feedback. Whenever joint velocities are not measurable, they are estimated from the joint positions. However, velocity estimates tend to be inaccurate under lowspeed ...
Analytical Acoustic Power Spectrum Formulations for Rotating Monopole and Dipole Point Sources
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Analytical acoustic power spectrum formulations for the rotating monopole and dipole point sources are proposed by employing the spherical harmonic series expansion method. Both the analytical acoustic power spectra and ...
Flow‐Deformation Response of Dual‐Porosity Media
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A constitutive model is presented to define the linear poroelastic response of fissured media to determine the influence of dual porosity effects. A stress‐strain relationship and two equations representing conservation ...
