RISThe Design and Development of the Orenda OT-4 Gas Turbine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Orenda OT-4 is a gas turbine which uses a simple regenerative cycle and is being developed as a multipurpose, continuous or emergency unit which will be competitive with the diesel engine ...
Flexible Long-Reach Robotic Limbs Using Tape Springs for Mobility and Manipulation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Conventional mobile robots have difficulty navigating highly unstructured spaces such as caves and forests. In these environments, a highly extendable limb could be useful for deploying hooks to climb over terrain, or for ...
Time Varying Passive Vibration Absorption for Flexible Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A time varying extension of the passive vibration absorber is described, which increases the effectiveness of a small number of passive vibration absorbers on large or changing flexible structures. ...

Distribution of Chemicals in Rivers during Contamination and Recovery
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Differential equations that describe the fate of chemicals in rivers as they transfer, react, and volatilize, both during contamination and recovery are developed. Explicit analytical solutions are presented for the unsteady ...
Dynamics and Trajectory Planning for Reconfigurable Space Multibody Robots
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A freefloating space robot equipped with multiple reconfigurable manipulators is designed and investigated in this paper. Lockable passive cylindrical joints (PCJs) are utilized to make the manipulator have the ability of ...
Pile Fence to Reduce Wave Overtopping and Overwash of Dune
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An experiment was performed to examine the utility of a pile fence in reducing dune erosion and overwash during a storm. Six tests consisting of 58 runs of 400 s each were conducted to compare the effectiveness of six ...
