Grain Temperature-Dependent Thermal Properties Estimation Using FI-QPSO Algorithm
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A hybrid fuzzy inference-quantum particle swarm optimization (FI-QPSO) algorithm is developed to estimate the temperature-dependent thermal properties of the grain. The fuzzy inference scheme is established to determine ...
Structure, Design, and Modeling of an Origami-Inspired Pneumatic Solar Tracking System for the NPU-Phonesat
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Various plants have the ability to follow the sun with their flowers or leaves via a mechanism known as heliotropism, which is powered by pressure gradients between neighboring motor cells. Adapting this bio-inspired ...
Shape Memory Alloy Bimorph Microactuators by Lift-Off Process
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study aims to develop a new fabrication process to create high-precision patterned shape memory alloy (SMA) bimorph micro-actuators by the e-beam evaporation technique. To examine the effect of the annealing process ...
Stress Distribution of the Power Section Cup of Pipeline Inspection Gauges by Finite Element Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The pipeline inspection gauges (PIGs) are often blocked in actual operation. As the PIG ran in the straight pipeline, elbow, and anomaly, the large deformation and stress state of the power section cup were analyzed by a ...
