RISDesign of Decoupled and Dynamically Isotropic Parallel Manipulators Considering Five Degrees-of-Freedom
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A six degrees-of-freedom (DOF) two-radii Gough–Stewart Platform (GSP) can be designed to be dynamically isotropic and has been proposed for micro-vibration isolation. In many applications, the torsional mode can be ignored, ...
Wind Effect Modeling and Analysis for Estimation of Photovoltaic Module Temperature
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The performance of photovoltaic (PV) modules in outdoor field conditions is adversely affected by the rise in module operating temperature. Wind flow around the module affects its temperature significantly, which ultimately ...
Multi-Lead Direct Current Potential Drop Method for In Situ Health Monitoring of Ceramic Matrix Composites
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The method of direct current potential drop (DCPD) can be utilized as an effective and convenient approach for in situ damage detection, and as a nondestructive evaluation technique. We present the results from use of a ...
Monitoring Damage in Nonoxide Composites at High Temperatures Using Carbon-Containing CVD SiC Monofilament Fibers as Embedded Electrical Resistance Sensors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Electrical resistance (ER) has become a technique of interest for monitoring SiC-based ceramic composites. The typical constituents of SiC fiber-reinforced SiC matrix composites, SiC, Si, and/or C, are semiconducive to ...
