RISMultiscale Mechanical Evaluation of Human Supraspinatus Tendon Under Shear Loading After Glycosaminoglycan Reduction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Proteoglycans (PGs) are broadly distributed within many soft tissues and, among other roles, often contribute to mechanical properties. Although PGs, consisting of a core protein and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) sidechains, ...
Kinematic Representations of Pop-Up Paper Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Pop-up paper mechanisms use techniques similar to the well-studied paper folding techniques of origami. However, pop-ups differ in both the manner of construction and the target uses, warranting ...
Evaluating Compliant Hinge Geometries for Origami Inspired Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Origamiinspired design is an emerging field capable of producing compact and efficient designs. Compliant hinges are proposed as a way to replicate the folding motion of paper when using nonpaper materials. Compliant hinges ...
An Introduction to Multilayer Lamina Emergent Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Multiple-layer lamina emergent mechanisms (MLEMs) are the mechanisms made from multiple sheets (lamina) of material with motion that emerges out of the fabrication plane. Understanding how layers ...
A Family of Dual Segment Compliant Joints Suitable for Use as Surrogate Folds
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Origamiinspired design is an emerging field capable of producing compact and efficient designs. The object of a surrogate fold is to provide a foldlike motion in a nonpaper material without undergoing yielding. Compliant ...
An Approach to Designing Origami Adapted Aerospace Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An approach to designing products based on adapting patterns and behaviors from origami is presented. The approach is illustrated by showing its capability for developing mechanism applications for aerospacebased systems. ...
Membrane-Enhanced Lamina Emergent Torsional Joints for Surrogate Folds
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Lamina emergent compliant mechanisms (including origami-adapted compliant mechanisms) are mechanical devices that can be fabricated from a planar material (a lamina) and have motion that emerges out of the fabrication ...
Effects of Panel Misalignment in a Deployable Origami-Based Optical Array
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Deployable origami-based arrays can offer many benefits for a wide variety of engineering applications. However, alignment in the deployed state is a primary challenge of these arrays; in optical systems, local (single ...
Laser Forming of Compliant Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Small-scale flexible (or compliant) mechanisms are valuable in replacing rigid components while retaining comparable motion and behavior. However, fabricating such mechanisms on this scale (from 0.01 to 10 cm) proves ...
Considering Boundary Conditions in the Design of Compliant Mechanisms With Desired Force Profiles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Compliant mechanisms can be designed to exhibit a variety of force–deflection curves. Demonstrating a specific force behavior is an integral part of many of their applications. In this work, we select several fundamental ...
