RISVibration Control of Redundant Flexible-Joint Manipulators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Presented in this paper is a method for controlling vibrations of a redundant flexible-joint manipulator. The main idea behind this method is to utilize joint redundancy to minimize the change ...
A Note on the Derivation of Plane-Strain Elastic Green’s Functions for Bimaterial Solids
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This brief note presents a rigorous proof of the general solutions obtained by [1977, “On Eigenstresses in Dissimilar Media,” Philos. Mag., 35, pp. 281–292] for a defect in elastic bimaterial ...
On Slip Inception and Static Friction for Smooth Dry Contact
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Slip inception mechanism is very important for modeling of static friction and understanding of some experimental observations of friction. In this work, slip inception was treated as a local competence of interfacial ...
Axisymmetric Deformation of a Pressurized Thin Elastic Membrane with Nonuniform Thickness
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many circular elastic membranes used in practice involve nonuniform thickness, which is a main source of error that affects the functionality of the membrane. An analytical framework is developed in this paper to solve the ...
Representative Volumes of Composite Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Representative volume (RV) of a composite material is important not only for experimental determination of materials properties, but also for theoretical analysis of various properties of the materials. RV is a random ...
Model-Based Reliability Analysis With Both Model Uncertainty and Parameter Uncertainty
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Model-based reliability analysis may not be practically useful if reliability estimation contains uncontrollable errors. This paper addresses potential reliability estimation errors from model bias together with model ...
Ultimate Load Capacity of Cable-Stayed Bridges with Different Deck and Pylon Connections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There are different connection patterns between the bridge decks and pylons of cable-stayed bridges. This paper presents an energy method of analysis for the in-plane ultimate load capacity of cable-stayed bridges with ...
Calibration and Validation Framework for Selective Laser Melting Process Based on Multi-Fidelity Models and Limited Experiment Data
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There are significant quality and reliability problems for components/products made by additive manufacturing (AM) due to various reasons. Selective laser melting (SLM) process is one of the popular AM techniques and it ...
Systematical Collision Avoidance Reliability Analysis and Characterization of Reliable System Operation for Autonomous Navigation Using the Dynamic Window Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Dynamic window approach (DWA) is one of the most widely used algorithms for local path planning and autonomous navigation. Although many successful examples have been shown under various operation conditions, to the authors' ...
Research on Creep Constitutive Model and Creep-Life Calculation Method for Steels
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Creep deformation and creep rupture is essential for the safety of steels working at high temperatures. Considering the practical creep rate curves and classical theta projection method, a generalized creep constitutive ...
