Comparative Study of Optimization Techniques in Sizing Mesostructures for Use in NonPneumatic Tires
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a comparative study on the size optimization of four mesostructures to meet the design requirements for a nonpneumatic tire's (NPT) shear beam with 10% shear flexure (SF) at 10 MPa effective shear ...
Assembly Time Estimation: Assembly Mate Based Structural Complexity Metric Predictive Modeling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an automated tool for estimating assembly times of products based on a three step process: connectivity graph generation from assembly mate information, structural complexity metric analysis of the ...
Comparison of Graph Generation Methods for Structural Complexity Based Assembly Time Estimation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper compares two different methods of graph generation for input into the complexity connectivity method to estimate the assembly time of a product. The complexity connectivity method builds predictive models for ...
An Experimental Study on the Influence That Failure Number, Specialization, and Controls Have on Confidence in Predicting System Failures1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Design reviews are typically used for three types of design activities: (1) identifying errors, (2) assessing the impact of the errors, and (3) suggesting solutions for the errors. This experimental study focuses on ...
A Unit Cell Design Guideline Development Method for Meso-Scaled Periodic Cellular Material Structures
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Much research has been conducted on effective elastic properties of meso-scaled periodic cellular material (MPCM) structures; however, there is only limited research providing guidelines on how to develop improved unit ...
Validation Study of a Computer-Aided Design Augmentation Tool for Cost Estimation1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: While fundamentals of DFMA (design for manufacturing and assembly) are widely accepted and used in the engineering community, many CAD environments lack tools that address manufacturing concerns by providing rapid feedback ...
Function Modeling: A Modeling Behavior Analysis of Pause Patterns
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a behavior-based protocol study conducted with mechanical engineering students, where the participants developed function–structure models for a novel design problem. A modeling activity video was ...
