RISUsing Rigid Body Mechanism Topologies to Design Shape Changing Compliant Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper uses rigidbody mechanism topologies to synthesize fully distributed compliant mechanisms that approximate a shape change defined by a set of morphing curves in different positions. For a shapechange problem, a ...
Using Rigid Body Mechanism Topologies to Design Path Generating Compliant Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: For a path generation problem, this paper uses the base topology of a single degreeoffreedom (DOF) rigidbody mechanism solution to synthesize fully distributed compliant mechanisms that can trace the same path. Two different ...
Simultaneous Topological and Dimensional Synthesis of Planar Morphing Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a general method to perform simultaneous topological and dimensional synthesis for planar rigid-body morphing mechanisms. The synthesis is framed as a multi-objective optimization problem for which the ...

Optimization of Constraint Location, Orientation, and Quantity in Mechanical Assembly
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A mechanical assembly aims to remove 6 degreeoffreedom (DOF) motion between two or more parts using features such as fasteners, integral attachments, and mating surfaces, all of which act as constraints. The locations, ...
Control of Final Part Dimensions in Polymer Extrusion Using a Variable-Geometry Die
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Parts made via polymer extrusion are currently limited to a constant cross section. Additionally, the process is difficult to control, so desired final part dimensions are often achieved via a manual trial-and-error approach ...
Velocity Decomposition-Enhanced Control for Point and Curved-Foot Planar Bipeds Experiencing Velocity Disturbances
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper extends the use of velocity decomposition of underactuated mechanical systems to the design of an enhanced hybrid zero dynamics (HZD)-based controller for biped robots. To reject velocity disturbances in the ...
Special Issue: Selected Papers From IDETC 2015
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This second IDETC Special Issue, containing 19 papers from researchers in seven countries on three continents, seeks to capture the current interest topics and latest results from the 39th ASME Mechanisms and Robotics ...
Design of Planar Multi Degree of Freedom Morphing Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper seeks to advance the design of planar multiloop shapechanging mechanisms used in a variety of applications, such as morphing extrusion dies and airfoils. The presence of defects is a limiting factor in finding ...
Design of High Speed Rotary Valves for Pneumatic Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Valves based on rotating geometry have long been sought by designers for their simplicity, compactness, and desirable dynamic properties. Unfortunately, they generally involve tight sealing surfaces with significant relative ...
