Aerodynamic Characteristics of Asymmetric Bluff Bodies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The wake of asymmetric bluff bodies was experimentally measured using particle imaging velocimetry, laser Doppler anemometry, load cell, hotwire, and flow visualization techniques at Re=2600–8500 ...
Vortex-Induced Vibration Characteristics of an Elastic Square Cylinder on Fixed Supports
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The vortex-induced structural vibration of an elastic square cylinder, on fixed supports at both ends, in a uniform cross flow was measured using fiber-optic Bragg grating sensors. The measurements ...
Position‐Force Adaptive Control for Construction Robots
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Typical tasks in construction engineering that can be performed by robots include the spraying or cleaning of surfaces. Both applications require that the external force at the end effector of the manipulator be properly ...
Construction Robot Force Control in Cleaning Operations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Basic surface treatment tasks on construction sites that can be performed by robots include the spraying, cleaning, and finishing of surfaces. In the present paper, a construction robot is proposed for accomplishing a ...
The Optimal Design for an Internal Stiffener Plate in a Penstock Bifurcation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the optimum design of an internal stiffener plate in a penstock bifurcation. It is assumed that the monetary cost of the structure is dependent on the amount of material ...
Dynamic Electrode Force and Displacement in Resistance Spot Welding of Aluminum
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Dynamic electrode displacement and force were characterized during resistance spot welding of aluminum alloy 5182 sheets using a medium-frequency direct-current welder. It was found that both ...
Asymptotic Solutions of Penny-Shaped Inhomogeneities in Global Eshelby’s Tensor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a three-dimensional penny-shaped isotropic inhomogeneity surrounded by unbounded isotropic matrix in a uniform stress field is studied based on Eshelby’s equivalent inclusion method. ...
Design and Characterization of a Magnetically Driven Valveless Micropump for Drug Delivery
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Micropump, an actuation source to transfer the fluid from reservoir to the target place with accuracy and reliability, plays an important role in microfluidic devices. A broad range of micropump ...
Multiscale Thermodynamic Significance of the Scale Invariance Approach in Continuum Inelasticity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the scale invariance approach from micro- to macro-plasticity by (1995, “From Micro- to Macro-plasticity: The Scale Invariance Approach,” ASME J. Eng. Mater., 117, pp. 352–355) ...
Vibration Durability Assessment of Sn3.0Ag0.5Cu and Sn37Pb Solders Under Harmonic Excitation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the vibration durability of both SAC305 and Sn37Pb interconnects are investigated with narrow-band harmonic vibration tests conducted at the first natural frequency of the test, ...
