RISDesign, Kinematics, and Deployment of a Continuum Underwater Vehicle-Manipulator System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Underwater vehicle-manipulator systems (UVMSs) are underwater robots equipped with one or more manipulators to perform intervention missions. This article provides the mechanical, electrical, and software design of a novel ...
Derivation of Modified Reynolds Equation: A Porous Media Model With Effects of Electrokinetics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A lubrication theory that includes the effects of electrokinetics and surface microstructure is developed. A porous layer attached to the impermeable substrate is used to model the microstructure ...
Surface Roughness Effects in Hydrodynamic Lubrication Involving the Mixture of Two Fluids
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the relations expressing the effects of surface roughness and homogeneous mixture (the mixture of power-law fluid inserted into a Newtonian fluid) on the roughness-induced flow ...
Derivation of Modified Reynolds Equation—A Porous Media Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, a porous media model is developed which can be applied to thin film lubrication problems. The microstructure of bearing surfaces is modeled as porous layers attached to the ...
Ultra-Thin Gas Squeeze Film Characteristics for Infinitely Large Squeeze Number
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, the characteristics of ultra-thin gas films are analyzed asymptotically for infinite squeeze number using the molecular gas film lubrication equation with coupled roughness and ...
On the Study of Impact Plasto-Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication of Point Contact Problems Lubricated With Non-Newtonian Lubricant
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, the impact of a rigid ball on a substrate with lubricant in between is examined. A linear hardening model for the elastic/plastic substrate deformation is assumed. A power-law model is used to describe the ...
Linear Stability Analysis of the Herringbone Groove Journal Bearings in Microsystems: Consideration of Gas Rarefaction Effects
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The dynamic performance of the herringbone groove journal bearings (HGJBs) with the effects of gas rarefaction taken into account is considered for applications in microsystems. Two important ...
Influence of Laboratory Compaction Methods on Shear Performance of Graded Crushed Stone
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a study on the effects of two laboratory compaction methods, namely, vibrating compaction and modified Proctor compaction on the stress-strain characteristics and shear strength of graded crushed stone. ...
Analysis of Soft-Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication Line Contacts on Finite Thickness
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Soft elastohydrodynamic lubrication (soft-EHL) is an important mechanism in biotribological systems. The soft-EHL has some distinct differences from the traditional hard-EHL, and a systematic analysis factoring in key ...
Simplified Kinematics of Continuum Robot Equilibrium Modulation via Moment Coupling Effects and Model Calibration
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recently, a new concept for continuum robots capable of producing macro-scale and micro-scale motion has been presented. These robots achieve their multi-scale motion capabilities by coupling direct actuation of push-pull ...
