A High-Fidelity Harmonic Drive Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a new model of the harmonic drive transmission is presented. The purpose of this work is to better understand the transmission hysteresis behavior while constructing a new type ...
Extending Den Hartog’s Vibration Absorber Technique to Multi-Degree-of-Freedom Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The most common method to design tuned dynamic vibration absorbers is still that of Den Hartog, based on the principle of invariant points. However, this method is optimal only when attaching ...
Syringomyelia Hydrodynamics: An In Vitro Study Based on In Vivo Measurements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A simplified in vitro model of the spinal canal, based on in vivo magnetic resonance imaging, was used to examine the hydrodynamics of the human spinal cord and subarachnoid space with ...
Spinal Subarachnoid Space Pressure Measurements in an In Vitro Spinal Stenosis Model: Implications on Syringomyelia Theories
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Full explanation for the pathogenesis of syringomyelia (SM), a neuropathology characterized by the formation of a cystic cavity (syrinx) in the spinal cord (SC), has not yet been provided. It ...
Transitional Flow at the Venous Anastomosis of an Arteriovenous Graft: Potential Activation of the ERK1/2 Mechanotransduction Pathway
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We present experimental and computational results that describe the level, distribution, and importance of velocity fluctuations within the venous anastomosis of an arteriovenous graft. The motivation ...
