RISThe Design of Variable-Ratio Chain Drives for Bicycles and Ergometers—Application to a Maximum Power Bicycle Drive
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes a technique for generating a chain drive capable of allowing a desired varying angular velocity function on the driving shaft while maintaining constant angular velocity of ...
A Technique for Kinematic Modeling of Anatomical Joints
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes a general technique for fitting a spatial kinematic model to an in-vivo anatomical joint under typical physiological loading conditions. The method employs a nonlinear least ...
Techniques for the Evaluation of Loads on the Forearm Prior to Impact in Tennis Strokes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes techniques developed to permit the evaluation of loadings on the forearm of a tennis player immediately prior to ball/racket impact. Kinematic data were obtained using ...
Materials Failure Logic Models—A Procedure for Systematic Identification of Material Failure Modes in Mechanical Components
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of improvement of mechanical component reliability by the systematic identification of material failure mechanisms. Experience shows that, in many cases of service ...
