Guarding the Gate
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To keep symptomatic workers from infecting entire businesses, employers are resorting to temperature
Bringing the Goods
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the spring, when the reality of the COVID-19 pandemic finally sank in, people realized that interactions as benign as accepting a delivered pizza could carry the risk of virus transmission. Enter the delivery robot.
Cyclic Plastic Deformation of a Circular Plate With Work Hardening
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental and theoretical study was performed of the nonlinear behavior of a simply supported flat circular aluminum plate under reversed cyclic central load. The application is for the ...
Startup Suns
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A number of startups have attracted millions of dollars from tech investors with the goal to buld a commercial fusion reactor by the end of the next decade. Befitting the merging of plasma physics and startup culture, each ...
Enduring Edge
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The degree to which technical skills are needed for new graduates and early career engineers is hotly debated. By some standards, deep knowledge of digital engineering technologies has never been more important or so hard ...
500 Years After Apollo
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Moon landing in 1969 was a cause for worldwide awe, by the 500th anniversary in 2469 space technologies may be so commonplace and so critical to human society that it will be impossible for anyone alive to fully ...
Finding a Way Forward
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In May and June of 2020, the editors of Mechanical Engineering magazine convened a series of talks with experts from a range of engineering disciplines to explore these issues that are at the heart of the engineering ...
10 Smart Startups
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Superstar Cities are known for their technology startups, but innovative companies are popping up all over the United States. To show the diversity of innovation outside the so-called innovation hubs, this article spotlights ...
Some Factors Influencing the Pitting, Micro-Pitting (Frosted Areas) and Slow Speed Wear of Surface Hardened Gears
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Surface hardness and hardening depth are the most important influence factors for the load capacity of surface hardened gears. Besides the structure of the hardening pattern, it’s carbon content, ...
Calculation of Cylindrical Worm Gear Drives of Different Tooth Profiles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The formulae of classical hydrodynamics are not suitable for the calculation of load capacity and power loss of worm gear drives. Thus a theoretical basis had to be developed for the comparison ...
