RISStatic and Dynamic Characterization of Some Tensegrity Modules
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A set of procedures was presented for characterizing static and dynamic response of tensegrity modules. The procedures were applied to two tensegrity modules: a six-bar spherical module and a ...
New Evaluation Method on Gear Dynamics Using Continuous and Discrete Wavelet Transforms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The aim of this study is to propose a new evaluation method of gear dynamics using the continuous and discrete wavelet transforms. The wavelet transform (WT) is a method for the time-frequency ...
Continuous Monitoring of Binary Gas Mixture Concentration With Application to Turbine Blade Cooling Experiments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Turbine blade cooling experiments often use mixtures of air and a heavy gas (CO2, SF6) to simulate coolant/mainstream density ratios. If the mixing of the mainstream with the coolant ejected ...
Study of Surface Residual Stress by Three-Dimensional Displacement Data at a Single Point in Hole Drilling Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A method combining moiré interferometry, Twyman–Green interferometry, and blind hole drilling method is proposed for simple and accurate determination of residual stress. The relationship between ...
Elastic-Plastic Finite Element Analysis of Partial Slip Rolling Contact
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The finite element model with the implementation of a robust cyclic plasticity theory was used to simulate the elastic-plastic stresses for the partial slip (stick-slip) line rolling contact. ...
Experimental Nonlinear Dynamics of a Shape Memory Alloy Wire Bundle Actuator
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the nonlinear dynamics of a new Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuator that possesses impressive payload lifting capabilities are presented. This actuator consists of 48 SMA wires ...
A Numerical Analysis of Phonation Using a Two-Dimensional Flexible Channel Model of the Vocal Folds
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A two-dimensional flexible channel model of the vocal folds coupled with an unsteady one-dimensional flow model is presented for an analysis of the mechanism of phonation. The vocal fold is ...
Sagittal Profile of the Femoral Condyles and Its Application to Femorotibial Contact Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Measurements of the sagittal profiles of the articular surfaces of 24 femoral condyles were performed using a laser range finder. An algebraic algorithm was developed to reconstruct the measured ...
Improved Dynamic Friction Models for Simulation of One-Dimensional and Two-Dimensional Stick-Slip Motion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In many mechanical systems, the tendency of sliding components to intermittently stick and slip leads to undesirable performance, vibration, and control behaviors. Computer simulations of mechanical ...
Metamodel-Driven Design Optimization Using Integrative Graphical Design Interfaces: Results From a Job-Shop Manufacturing Simulation Experiment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Today, engineers are relying more on modern computer tools and techniques to visualize complex data sets; however, few studies have examined the effect of fast, graphical design interfaces on ...
