Cellular Confinement Systems to Prevent Resuspension in Sediment Basins
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Sediment basins provide quiescent conditions that enable settling of fine particles present in runoff, mitigating environmental effects created by excessive sediment discharges. Yet, settled particles are susceptible to ...
The Prototype for X Framework: Assessing Impact on Self-Reported Prototyping Behavior of Student Designers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A significant gap exists between engineering students' perceptions of prototypes and prototyping abilities and professionals' perceptions and abilities. Structured prototyping frameworks have recently been developed and ...
But Will It Build? Assessing Student Engineering Designers’ Use of Design for Additive Manufacturing Considerations in Design Outcomes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) enables engineers to improve the functionality and performance of their designs by adding complexity at little to no additional cost. However, AM processes also exhibit certain unique limitations, ...
Trade Space Exploration of Magnetically Actuated Origami Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Selffolding origami has the potential to be utilized in novel areas such as selfassembling robots and shapemorphing structures. Important decisions in the development of such applications include the choice of active ...
Quantifying the Shape of Pareto Fronts During Multi-Objective Trade Space Exploration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recent advances in simulation and computation capabilities have enabled designers to model increasingly complex engineering problems, taking into account many dimensions, or objectives, in the problem formulation. Increasing ...
A Mixed-Methods Investigation of How Digital Immersion Affects Design for Additive Manufacturing Evaluations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Applications for additive manufacturing (AM) continue to increase as more industries adopt the technology within their product development processes. There is a growing demand for designers to acquire and hone their design ...
Teaching Design Freedom: Understanding the Effects of Variations in Design for Additive Manufacturing Education on Students’ Creativity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) processes offer unique capabilities (i.e., opportunities) yet inherent limitations (i.e., restrictions) due to the layer-by-layer fabrication of parts. Despite the newfound design freedom and ...
Rapid Response! Investigating the Effects of Problem Definition on the Characteristics of Additively Manufactured Solutions for COVID-19
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Designers from around the world have proposed numerous engineering design solutions for problems related to the COVID-19 pandemic, many of which leverage the rapid prototyping and manufacturing capabilities of additive ...
Exploring the Effects of Additive Manufacturing Education on Students' Engineering Design Process and its Outcomes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Research in additive manufacturing (AM) has increased the use of AM in many industries, resulting in a commensurate need for a workforce skilled in AM. In order to meet this need, educational institutions have undertaken ...
3D Design Using Generative Adversarial Networks and Physics-Based Validation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The authors present a generative adversarial network (GAN) model that demonstrates how to generate 3D models in their native format so that they can be either evaluated using complex simulation environments or realized ...
