RISTopology Optimization of Rigid-Body Systems Considering Collision Avoidance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Passive dynamic mechanisms can perform simple robotic tasks without requiring actuators and control. In previous research, a computational design method was introduced that integrates dynamic simulation to evaluate and ...
Enhancing Creative Redesign Through Multimodal Design Heuristics for Additive Manufacturing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: When designing for additive manufacturing (AM), designers often need assistance in breaking out of their conventional manufacturing mind-set. Previously, the authors derived design heuristics for AM (DHAM) to assist designers ...
Iterative Development and Verification of 37 Design Heuristics for the Design of Medical Devices for Low-Resource Settings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Medical devices in low-resource settings are scarce and often become nonoperational after a short time, thus restricting health facilities from providing essential healthcare to patients. One major reason is that most ...
An Ontology for the Autonomous Reconfiguration of a Flexible Fixture Device
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The need for reconfigurable manufacturing systems has long been recognized as a key factor to gain the necessary flexibility for economical production of small batch sizes. Automation of the reconfiguration processes is a ...
Visualizing Relations Between Grammar Rules, Objectives, and Search Space Exploration in Grammar-Based Computational Design Synthesis1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Design grammars have been successfully applied in numerous engineering disciplines, e.g., in electrical engineering, architecture, and mechanical engineering. A successful application of design grammars in computational ...
Automated Synthesis of Passive Dynamic Brachiating Robots Using a Simulation-Driven Graph Grammar Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Passive dynamic systems have the advantage over conventional robotic systems that they do not require actuators and control. Brachiating, in particular, involves the swinging motion of an animal from one branch to the next. ...
Simulation-Based Computational Design Synthesis Using Automated Generation of Simulation Models From Concept Model Graphs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Current approaches in computational design synthesis (CDS) enable the human designer to explore large solution spaces for engineering design problems. To extend this to support designers in embodiment and detail design, ...
Investigation of a Voronoi Diagram Representation for the Computational Design of Additively Manufactured Discrete Lattice Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A lattice structure is defined by a network of interconnected structural members whose architecture exhibits some degree of regularity. Although the overall architecture of a lattice may contain many members, its generation ...
Computational Design of Multi-State Lattice Structures With Finite Mechanisms for Shape Morphing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Shape-morphing structures are beneficial for applications in aerospace, automotive, and architecture since they allow structures to adapt to changing environmental conditions. Finding structural configurations with intrinsic ...
Comparing Strategies for Topologic and Parametric Rule Application in Automated Computational Design Synthesis1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Graph grammars are used for computational design synthesis (CDS) in which engineering knowledge is formalized using graphs to represent designs and rules that describe their transformation. Most engineering tasks require ...
