RISA Systems Engineering Approach to Harnessing Human Energy in Public Places: A Feasibility Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study analyzes the feasibility of placing modified exercise equipment in public places to enable human energy harnessing. By assessing the impacts as a system-level synthesis of economic, environmental, productivity, ...
A Review of the Capabilities of Current Low-Cost Virtual Reality Technology and Its Potential to Enhance the Design Process
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the past few years, there have been some significant advances in consumer virtual reality (VR) devices. Devices such as the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Leap Motion™ Controller, and Microsoft Kinect® are bringing immersive ...
Effectiveness of an Immersive Virtual Environment for Collaboration With Gesture Support Using Low-Cost Hardware
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Since the advent of modern computer-aided design software, engineers have been divorced from the highly collaborative environment previously enjoyed. Today's highly complex designs require modern software tools and the ...
Agent-Based Product-Social-Impact-Modeling: A Systematic Literature Review and Modeling Process
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A key part of an engineer’s purpose is to create products and services that benefit society, or, in other words, to create products with a positive social impact. While engineers have many predictive models to aid in making ...
Optimization of 3D Printing While Traveling En Route to Extend Range of Unmanned Aircraft Systems for Multilocation Mission Scenarios
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The nexus of two relatively recent technologies, additive manufacturing and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), has enabled new and unique capabilities that have only started to be realized in integrated systems. This article ...
Trade-Off Characterization Between Social and Environmental Impacts Using Agent-Based Product Adoption Models and Life Cycle Assessment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Meeting the United Nations (UN) sustainable development goals efficiently requires designers and engineers to solve multi-objective optimization problems involving trade-offs between social, environmental, and economical ...
An Approach for Predicting Social, Environmental, and Economic Product Impacts and Characterizing the Associated Sustainability Tradespace in Engineering Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There is a growing demand for sustainable products and systems. Sustainability encompasses environmental, social, and economic aspects, often referred to as the three pillars of sustainability. To make more sustainable ...
Optimizing Engineered Products for Their Social Impacts on Multiple Stakeholders
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Engineered products are often optimized based on engineering requirements, user requirements, cost, and performance. This strategy is well suited for most applications, but products designed specifically to improve the ...
Systematic Review and Classification of the Engineering for Global Development Literature Based on Design Tools and Methods for Social Impact Consideration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: While many tools and methodologies for assessing social impact exist and are used in the social science and global development fields, there is a lack of standard methods for considering the broader social impact of products ...
