RISAutomatic Selection of Mechanism Designs from a Three-Dimensional Design Map
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Often a simple (four-bar linkage) mechanism to trace a desired path is sought. Dimensions of linkages to trace a specified coupler curve exactly are difficult to determine. Precision point ...
Generic Models for Designing Dwell Mechanisms: A Novel Kinematic Design of Stirling Engines as an Example
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The desirable motion characteristics of mechanisms are so implicit that they are difficult to express analytically. Our design methodology involves development of generic design models through ...
Synthesis of Programmable Mechanisms Using Adjustable Dyads
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Conventional hard automation such as linkage mechanisms and cam-driven mechanisms provide high speed capability at a low cost, but fail to provide the flexibility required in many industrial ...
Systematic Synthesis and Applications of Novel Multi-Degree-of-Freedom Differential Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A two-degree-of-freedom differential system has been known for a long time and is widely used in automotive drive systems. Although higher degree-of-freedom differential systems have been developed ...
An Energy Formulation for Parametric Size and Shape Optimization of Compliant Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Compliant mechanisms are jointless mechanical devices that take advantage of elastic deformation to achieve a force or motion transformation. An important step toward automated design of compliant ...
Gaussian Analysis of an Irregular Wave Impact on Deck
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Level-crossing analysis of long-crested, Gaussian waves in space and time are studied in the context of wave loads on a fixed, horizontal deck-box above mean waterline. Vertical wave loads on ...
Synthesis of Planar, Compliant Four-Bar Mechanisms for Compliant-Segment Motion Generation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Compliant four-bar mechanisms treated in previous works consisted of at least one rigid moving link, and such mechanisms synthesized for motion generation tasks have always comprised a rigid ...
Towards an Objective Evaluation of Alternate Designs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a systematic method for the objective evaluation of different product designs that perform the same function. Functional representation is used as a tool for competitive ...
Design and Fabrication of Microelectromechanical Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An attempt has been made to summarize some of the important developments in the emerging technology of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) from the mechanical engineering perspective. In the ...
Design and Application of Compliant Mechanisms for Surgical Tools
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper introduces the benefits of exploiting elasticity in the engineering design of surgical tools, in general, and of minimally invasive procedures, in particular. Compliant mechanisms are ...
